The Chemical Sciences and Engineering (CSE) Division is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee who, under the guidance of a supervisor, will conduct fundamental research on solar energy conversion in natural photosynthetic systems and design biohybrid complexes for solar-driven fuels production. Research includes protein bioinorganic and biochemistry techniques, the development of methods to augment native and modified photosynthetic protein frameworks with abiotic cofactors, and the characterization of structure-function relationships in hybrid assemblies using a range of spectroscopic techniques.
Participates in protein isolation and characterization. Develops bioinorganic methods for protein modification enabling structure-function analysis of native photosynthetic systems and the insertion of abiotic cofactors into photosynthetic protein frameworks. Characterizes the structure, electron transfer properties, and catalytic function of native protein-protein interactions and hybrid assemblies using a range of biophysical spectroscopic techniques. Analyzes data, prepares manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed publications, and makes presentations at scientific meetings. Maintains comprehensive knowledge of pertinent literature. Develops new ideas, concepts, and/or research proposals.
Position Requirements
Considerable knowledge of and experimental expertise in one or more of the following areas: Photosystem I, thylakoid membranes, protein isolation, protein modification, protein function characterization, protein cofactor characterization, protein structure characterization
Good interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills. Good skill in data processing, evaluation, and interpretation. Good skill in working in an interdisciplinary research team setting
Some knowledge of and experimental expertise in protein design and expression using recombinant DNA and microbial protein expression techniques, organic/inorganic chemistry, biophysics, TA and EPR spectroscopy
This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in bioinorganic chemistry, biochemistry, or biophysical chemistry or related disciplines at the Ph.D. degree level with 0 to 3 years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience
