What We Want

The Postdoctoral  Research Associate will perform research in nanoprojectile-secondary ion mass spectrometry. The selected candidate will collaborate with a team of chemists, physicists, and biologists on two projects. The aim of these projects will be to find new methods for measuring protein and lipid composition of individual exosomes, in particular, the nanoenvironment around proteins and to detect rare nanoscale defects in high-performance materials. If the description sounds exciting to you, we invite you to apply to be considered for this opportunity to join our team.

What You Need to Know

Salary: Compensation will be commensurate based on the selected candidate’s education and experience.

Required Education and Experience:
