From: "Flanegin, Susan A" <flanegin@illinois.edu> Subject: REMINDER: On Behalf of Taekjip Ha and Klaus Schulten - Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities with NSF's Center for the Physics of Living Cells (CPLC) - PLEASE CIRCULATE Date: November 28, 2011 11:01:26 AM PST To: "Flanegin, Susan A" <flanegin@illinois.edu>

Dear Colleagues, We are writing to remind you of several postdoctoral fellowship opportunities for the coming academic year, starting September 2012, in experimental and theoretical biophysics in the "Center for the Physics of Living Cells" (CPLC), a National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Research in the Center for the Physics of Living Cells falls into one of four themes:

1. Maximizing information content of single molecule experiments;

2. Using synthetic nanostructures for high speed single molecule spectroscopy;

3. Observing individual events within single cells; and

4. Extending computation to biologically relevant timescales, and theory to greater biological realism.

Fellows will use state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical biophysical tools to accomplish these goals: optical tweezers, single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, fabrication of synthetic nanostructure, high-speed, low-noise electrical measurements, live cell imaging, microscopic and coarse-grained molecular simulations, stochastic modeling, as well as the standard methods of molecular and cellular biology and genetics. Research will involve both the development and improvement of experimental and computational techniques and the application of these techniques to particular biological processes such as replication, transcription, translation, cell transport and motility. As projects are collaborative endeavors between several labs, the fellows will have the opportunity to be jointly advised by two or more faculty members of the CPLC.

Apply via https://my.physics.illinois.edu/join/ no later than December 2, 2011. Applications should include: cover letter; curriculum vita; research statement; publications list; and contact information for three references. Applications received after the December 2nd deadline may not be considered. A full job description can be found at: http://www.cplc.illinois.edu/opps/postdocs.asp

Please post and circulate the attached announcement or if interested, apply accordingly.

Thank you.
