Postdoctoral Fellow - Nanotechnology

Position Description:

The Biomedical Optics and Nano-Diagnostics (BOND) laboratory at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is looking for a post-doctoral fellow in the area of cancer nanotechnology. Specific areas of interest include translational research in development of game-changing early cancer detection, diagnostic and therapy monitoring methods. Work environment includes a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, imaging scientists, molecular biologists, nanotechnology experts and a close collaboration with industry partners.

The initial appointment will be fulltime for a 12-month period, with future renewal contingent on fellow performance and achieving project milestones. Salary will be based on the level of experience of the applicant. Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Qualifications:

Qualified individuals should have a PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related field. Candidates should have an extensive background in synthesis and characterization of colloidal nanoparticles for biomedical applications including surface modification methods. Knowledge and previous experience with iron oxide and plasmonic (gold) nanoparticles is a significant plus. The fellow will work on development of molecular specific nanoparticles for early cancer detection using advanced biomedical detection/imaging methods. All candidates are expected to have a strong experimental background in wet lab, excellent verbal and communication skills, the ability to work independently and also to be great team players. In addition to experimental work, the fellow will actively participate in manuscript writing, presentations, and writing of grant proposals. 

Application package should be submitted as a single pdf file to Prof. Konstantin (Kostia) Sokolov and should include the following information:
- A cover letter stating your research interest and overall career goals.
- Current CV with contact information for three references.
- Selected relevant applications.
