Piscataway, New Jersey, United States Rutgers University Full time
Position Overview

The Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) at Rutgers University is seeking a highly qualified Postdoctoral Associate to join a dynamic research team.

The selected candidate will engage in specialized investigations focused on the origin, evolution, and development of proteins involved in electron transfer, specifically oxidoreductases.

We are looking for an individual with expertise in several key areas, including but not limited to bioinformatics, bioinorganic chemistry, structural biology, microbial genomics, biogeochemistry, molecular evolution, and synthetic organic chemistry. This diverse skill set will facilitate the design of interdisciplinary experiments aimed at addressing fundamental questions regarding the origins of life.

The Postdoctoral Associate will also play a crucial role in the configuration and upkeep of essential instrumentation required for the successful execution of the project.

Research outcomes are expected to contribute to scientific publications, and the Postdoctoral Associate will be responsible for drafting manuscripts and assisting in the preparation of grant and fellowship proposals.

Collaboration is key; therefore, the Postdoctoral Associate will be expected to mentor and guide undergraduate students in their scientific research endeavors.


Key Responsibilities:
1) Conduct computer simulations of protein structures and perform computational design of peptides and proteins.
2) Synthesize and characterize designed peptides and proteins.
3) Execute structural and functional analyses of designs.
4) Mentor undergraduate students in research projects.
5) Participate in scientific conferences and meetings, both nationally and internationally.
6) Facilitate collaborative interactions among multiple investigators and institutions involved in the project.
7) Stay informed about relevant federal, state, and university regulations and policies.
8) Adhere to compliance standards and policies established by Rutgers University.
9) Perform additional related duties as assigned.
Qualifications:

Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a closely related discipline. Demonstrated expertise in at least two of the following areas is required: bioinorganic chemistry, structural biology, microbial genomics, biogeochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular evolution, and synthetic organic chemistry. Proficiency in both spoken and written English is essential. Experience with EPR and NMR spectroscopies is highly desirable, and prior mentoring experience is a plus.


Work Environment:

This position is based in a laboratory setting where adherence to universal precautions is mandatory. The role requires computer data input and the ability to conduct bench-laboratory experiments.

The Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) are dedicated to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace for all employees. We are committed to understanding and appreciating the variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from diverse backgrounds.

We encourage qualified candidates who are committed to promoting a sense of belonging and contributing to an equitable and inclusive workplace to apply.
