A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Immune Imaging group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The research group specializes in developing single-molecule and superresolution bioanalytical techniques to seek insights from signaling, trafficking, and molecular interactions in immune cells (Bioconjugate Chemistry (2023) PMID: 37145839; Nano Letters (2022) PMID: 35499493; ACS Nano (2022) PMID: 34797055; PNAS (2016) PMID: 27303041). The ideal candidate will have prior experience in single-molecule or superresolution imaging. Some background in molecular biology or biophysics is a plus. The successful candidates will lead the NIH-funded research effort in leveraging superresolution imaging techniques to enhance the fundamental understanding of cytokine release in T cells at the molecular level. Salary is commensurate with experience. The University of Illinois offers competitive benefits, including healthcare options, wellness programs, educational opportunities, and other benefits in metropolitan Chicago.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong publication record
• Proficiency in single-molecule and superresolution microscopy
• Flexibility to work with immune cells
• Three letters of reference
