Postdoctoral Associate The Peng Group

About The Broad Institute:
The Broad Institute is an amazing place - we apply our deep knowledge of human genetics to empower a revolution in biomedicine and accelerate the pace at which the world conquers disease. Through our partnerships with MIT Harvard and the Harvard teaching hospitals weve become a worldwide hub of cutting-edge biomedical science.

About the Lab:

The multidisciplinary research in the Peng group aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which human diseases occur. We develop and integrate a diverse toolbox spanning single-molecule microscopy super-resolution microscopy spectroscopy nanomaterial engineering biophysics chemical biology and quantitative modeling to uncover previously unexplored biological processes. With bright and photostable probes we have unprecedented capability to record ultralong-term molecular movies in living systems with high spatiotemporal resolutions and reveal molecular interactions that drive biological functions.

About the Position:
Experimental postdoctoral researcher to work on live cell single-molecule imaging.

Requirements:
Qualified candidates should have:

• PhD in a biological science such as cell biology immunology neurobiology biochemistry etc. or related field
• 0 years of post-graduate experience
• Solid experience in the development of biochemical and/or cell-based assays
• Strong publication record and excellent communication skills
• Experience working with primary cells and mouse disease models a plus
• Excellent organization and time management skills required
• Must be able to handle a variety of tasks and to adapt to a highly dynamic environment.
