<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">A Postdoc position is available in the laboratory of Professor Vinayak Dravid at Northwestern University (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://vpd.ms.northwestern.edu/__;!!Mih3wA!VDCJ64vjpqAJ-0gqNz-lAZnuANz9hMazkEVFLpNCD4rxk8ITJyG8MwnYNJBiDfRzIQ$">https://vpd.ms.northwestern.edu/</a>). The area of interest
for this position is “Characterizing the Structure and Dynamics of Soft Matter with multimodal Electron Microscopy”. Soft Matter here refers to engineered proteins, megamolecules, protein complexes, MOFs and COFs. The candidate will participate in an extensive
cross-disciplinary and collaborative project across Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Cell & Molecular Biology experts at Northwestern and the University of Chicago. The research will be conducted in the NU<i>ANCE</i> Center (NSF Center for Facility Excellence
in the greater Midwest), which houses comprehensive sample preparation and atomic-nanoscale characterization capabilities for biological, soft, hard, and hybrid structures. In this vibrant environment, there is ample opportunity to learn diverse aspects of
synthetic biology, simulation and imaging of unconventional molecules/materials. We are looking for a researcher with hands-on experience in electron microscopy, image processing, and data-processing for the reconstruction of sample structures. The position
is initially available for two years, with the potential for extension.<o:p></o:p></p>
