Post-doc fellow for nanoparticle synthesis and DNA barcoding – test where hundreds of nanoparticle distribute, directly in vivo!

James Dahlman and M.G. Finn at Georgia Tech are hiring a post-doctoral fellow to synthesize nanoparticle libraries. The fellow will synthesize hundreds of nanoparticles, and measure the biodistribution of them all directly in vivo, using a novel nanoparticle DNA barcoding system.

This work is funded by sponsors with a direct line to the clinic. As a result, it is an excellent opportunity to (a) develop nanoparticles for clinical trials, and (b) rigorously study how nanoparticle structure influences delivery in vivo, using hundreds of nanoparticles.

The fellow needs a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, or have extensive experience synthesizing molecules. The fellow will learn a brand new, interdisciplinary barcoding technology, and will develop skillsets that complement chemistry, including: nanotechnology, genomics, big data, molecular biology, in vivo drug delivery, gene editing, and gene therapies.

Georgia Tech is located in midtown Atlanta. The university is home to a large biotechnology campus, and is near to both Emory Medical School and the CDC. The city, which is a combination of beautiful skyscrapers and stunning parks, has a thriving food, culture, music, and festival scene. Sixteen Fortune 500 companies and 32 colleges or universities are headquartered in the city. As a result, it is especially fun for young professionals.
