About this position
Postdoctoral Fellow/Biomaterials Scientist, Chemistry Zaleski Lab at Indiana University (Bloomington, United States).
The Zaleski Lab in the Department of Chemistry is accepting applications for a postdoctoral research position focused on the design and synthesis of hybrid molecular and nanomaterial catalysts, with a strong biomaterials and cell-interaction component. The research environment is multidisciplinary and suitable for candidates interested in chemistry, materials, biology, and biomolecular interfaces.
Research interests and skills include bacterial cell growth and analysis, membrane biochemistry, extracellular vesicles, nanomaterial preparation, cell-nanomaterial interactions, and advanced microscopy (TEM, confocal, and light microscopy). The post emphasizes both experimental skill and the ability to contribute to new project ideas, literature reviews, and publications.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a biomaterials-related field. Strong preference is given to candidates with experience in bacterial biochemistry, membrane biology, extracellular vesicle preparation/analysis, and membrane/organelle interactions.
Funding: the position is salaried at $52,000/year as a Postdoctoral Fellow, with benefits included. The initial appointment is for 12 months, with a possible 12-month extension based on performance.
How to apply: submit a cover letter, a research proposal of up to 5 pages, a CV, and contact information for three references through the online application portal. Applications are reviewed upon receipt.
