Postdoctoral Fellow - Cell Biology and Quantitative Microscopy

Postdoctoral Fellow - Cell Biology and Quantitative Microscopy

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission:
Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research. Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity in Dr. Tijana Jovanovic-Talisman's lab. Explore biological nanoparticles, specifically extracellular vesicles (EVs), for groundbreaking minimally invasive diagnostics. Uncover disease-specific molecules within EVs using cell biology and super-resolution microscopy. Contribute to developing a revolutionary platform for precision medicine diagnoses.

As a successful candidate, you will:
Purify and manipulate EVs from cultured cells and plasma. Conduct imaging experiments using single molecule localization microscopy. Complete data analysis to characterize the molecular content of extracellular vesicles.

Your qualifications should include:
PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline with less than 3 years of postdoctoral training. Experience in quantitative microscopy and cell biology. Ability to carry out independent research and prepare manuscripts for publication. Proficiency in super-resolution microscopy, extracellular vesicles, and MATLAB programming is preferred. Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset City of Hope is an equal opportunity employer.
