We are seeking talented researchers!
The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is the largest public university in Chicago, educating over 30,000 students from diverse backgrounds both across the US and abroad. Our lab is on its west campus, located within the Illinois Medical District that combines the strength of four major hospital systems. With an expansive view of the Loop, we are steeped in the historic College of Medicine, state-of-art facilities, and interesting people.
With unique and expanding toolsets.
Genetic encoded protein biosensors and modulators
Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM)
Automated TIRF and FRET fluorescence microscopy
... and more!
1 postdoctoral position is available.
The Mo Lab studies the contribution of single cell inflammatory signaling and cell death in health and disease. We are specifically interested in the functions of the membrane proteins, nodal kinases, and transcription factors in these pathways. Our projects aim to combine molecular biology with bioengineering methods and analyses to reveal the next-generation therapeutic approaches for lung injury and inflammation. Eligible candidate may also be placed on a long-standing NIH Training grant.
We are a caring, curious, and collaborative lab with strong work ethics. Suitable candidates, who will join us in the Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine, must have a Ph.D. degree, preferably in biophysics, bioengineering or a closely relevant discipline, and a proven capacity for ground-breaking research reflected by publications. The successful applicant will have expertise including:
Strong training in fluorescence microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, electrophysiology, and other live cell biophysics methods
Extensive programming experience in Matlab, R, python, or other languages for image analysis, machine learning, and single cell bioinformatics
Firm interest and working knowledge of single cell molecular signaling and biochemistry
Proficiency in simulation and visualization of protein folding and dynamics is a plus
Interested candidates may start by sending CV. Brief research statement and contact info for 3 referees will be requested where needed.
