Postdoctoral Research Positions In Biosciences Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory
With the UNSURPASSED FEDERAL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS and JOB SECURITY, it is always ideal to work for the federal government, even as a postdoc.
Postdoctoral positions are available in the Biosciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for individuals with training in microbiology, biochemistry, or genetics. Successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team working to identify and characterize protein interaction networks in microbes. This research is part of the ORNL Center for Molecular and Cellular Systems (CMCS) which was established in 2002 as part of the Department of Energy’s Genomics: GTL program with the goal of understanding the molecular basis of biological function in a broad range of environmental microbes. Projects include validation of predicted protein interactions and functional analysis using molecular methods (e.g. gene deletions, microarray analysis), comparative genomic and proteomic studies, and structural analysis of protein complexes. There will likely be additional opportunities for involvement with other projects at ORNL.
Qualifications:
The position requires a Ph.D. in microbiology, biochemistry, genetics or a related field. A successful candidate will have a strong publication record, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to perform effectively in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary research environment.
