** Job Description
** The National Laboratory of the Rockies Biosciences Center has an immediate opening for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher position in the Physical Biochemistry and Photosynthesis Group to conduct basic research on the electron transfer and biophysical mechanisms of flavin-based electron bifurcating enzymes. The candidate’s research responsibilities will include the application of spectroscopic (UV/Vis steady state and transient absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance, fluorescence), electrochemical (protein film voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry), and biochemical methods towards the broader goal of understanding how the protein environment tunes redox cofactors for efficient and challenging electron transfer reactions.

The research project will involve collaborations with internal and external groups. The candidate will be required on a regular basis to prepare manuscripts and reports on research progress, present results at national meetings, mentor junior researchers, participate in professional development opportunities, and assist the project PI with the planning of project directions. To meet these requirements the candidate must possess strong organizational skills, excellent oral and written communication skills, and keen attention to detail.

Please include with your application materials a cover letter describing how your background and experience is relevant to this position..#
