Job Description

 

The Department of Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow (EPR Focus). Our lab in the Department of Biophysics at MCW performs technology research and development for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). We are seeking a motivated individual to design and implement the next generation pulse and continuous-wave spectrometers for EPR to interface with state-of-the-art resonant probes. This project is part of a broader effort to significantly increase the sensitivity of EPR for protein single crystal and microfluidic applications and lead the field in biomedical research technology. The position will remain open until filled.

The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative laboratory focused on the structure-function duality of medically relevant enzymes, with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise in EPR spectroscopy. The applicant will be part of an interdisciplinary team. A successful individual will mentor graduate students in research projects. Strong collaborative skills are required.

Job Requirements

Ideal candidates will have experience expertise in one or more of the following areas:

  • Magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance
  • Microwave components and system design
  • Hardware/software interfacing
  • Python, MATLAB, LabView, C/C++
  • Keysight ADS
  • Excellent writing skills, as evidenced by first author publications
