Primary Purpose Of Organizational Unit
The UNC School of Medicine has a rich tradition of excellence and care. Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of North Carolinians, and others whom we serve. We accomplish this by providing leadership and excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research. We strive to promote faculty, staff, and learner development in a diverse, respectful environment where our colleagues demonstrate professionalism, enhance learning, and create personal and professional sustainability. We optimize our partnership with the UNC Health System through close collaboration and commitment to service. Position Summary
Postdocs in organic and physical organic chemistry, to study and develop novel environment-sensing dyes and protein-dye conjugates, including structures for single molecule imaging in vivo, and for multiplexed biosensor/optogenetic imaging (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 141(18): 7275, 2019. PMC6572722). Projects here will focus on the GTPase cycle and on exocysts. We offer an opportunity for chemists to learn protein engineering and microscopy, and to apply their own new probes to answer cell biology questions. This project involves novel approaches for specific derivatization of proteins within live cells. Minimum Education And Experience Requirements
Doctorate in pharmacology, chemistry or related field. Required Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience
Experience with developing novel environment-sensing dyes and protein-dye conjugates, including structures for single molecule imaging in vivo, and for multiplexed biosensor/optogenetic imaging. Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience
