San Francisco, United States California Life Company Full time

Description:

The Calico Microscopy team seeks a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow to lead an exciting and ground-breaking project exploring a novel approach to magnetogenetics, based on our lab's previous observations. The successful candidate will possess a keen interest in technology development and invention as well as a desire to perform highly interdisciplinary research, encompassing a combination of fluorescence microscopy, molecular biology, biochemistry, in vivo imaging, physics and hardware development.

Responsibilities:

* Lead the development of a magnetogenetic tool, which will likely require creating libraries and implementing screens for enhanced protein conformational changes triggered by magnetic fields, as well as demonstrating magnetic field control of a biological process in cells using magnets
* Collaborate with other researchers in the lab to develop and apply the new tools, beginning in cell culture and, with success, extending to mice
* Communicate and collaborate with a diverse group of subject matter experts spanning microscopy, biology, and protein engineering
* Communicate research findings and present the results at conferences and seminars

Position Requirements:

* PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field
* Strong lab experience, including fluorescence microscopy, biochemistry, protein engineering and molecular biology techniques
* Experience with development of bespoke fluorescence microscopy assays
* Familiarity with physics concepts like electromagnetism
* Affinity for modifying or building custom software and hardware.
* Proficiency with a programming language
* Experience with experiments in mice, or a strong desire to learn
* Excellent written and oral communication skills
* Capacity to work independently, manage projects effectively, and collaborate seamlessly within a multidisciplinary team

The estimated base salary for this role is $95,000.
