Job Description

A post-doctoral position is available immediately at the Biostabilization Laboratory (http://me.umn.edu/labs/biostabilization/index.shtml) at the University of Minnesota.

The position focuses on developing stabilization and storage methods for human biospecimens such as blood serum and plasma. In this NIH-funded project, a special carbohydrate-based matrix is utilized to rapidly vitrify the fluid biospecimens stabilizing the molecular biomarkers they contain. The responsibilities of the post-doctoral associate include understanding the different mechanisms of low temperature and freezing damage, optimization of the stabilization processes and the storage conditions. Long-term stability experiments are to be conducted to determine stability of different proteinaceous biomarkers in the biospecimens under different storage conditions.

The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry or Molecular Biology. Experience in analytical biochemistry and molecular stabilization techniques is highly desired. The candidate must have excellent experimentation skills: No candidate without experimental experience in his/her Ph.D. studies will be considered for this position. Extensive experience with analytical chemistry techniques (spectroscopy, microscopy, etc.) and spectroscopic and microscopic characterization techniques (including FTIR, RAMAN, UV-Vis Spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy), SEM, TEM, HPLC as well as Western blotting, silver staining, ELISA, and MS are highly desired.
