EXPERIMENTAL BIOPHYSICS
                           POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
The University of California, Irvine anticipates the availability
of a postdoctoral position in experimental biophysics beginning
as early as 2009. The successful candidate will do in vitro
(and in vivo) experiments on molecular motors, looking at a variety of
issues related to how multiple motors function together. While a
strong background in biology is not required, the successful applicant
will be expected to have an interest in understanding biology, and
will need to learn a great deal of biology to be successful.
Experimentally, some knowledge of optics, electronics, and computer
control of instrumentation is important, since the project involves
optical traps and advanced instrumentation. Becasue the project will
be multi-disciplinary, a desire to learn new approaches is critical.
The applicant will be expected to work well as part of a group, and
collaborate with theorists.  The minimum qualification is a Ph.D in
physics, biomedical engineering, chemistry, or a closely related
field.  Applications (including a cv, list of publications, and three
reference letters) should be sent to Prof. Steven Gross, Department of
Dev. and Cell Biology,  University of California, Irvine, CA 92697.
For full consideration, applications should be submitted by January 5, 2009.
