Postdoctoral Researcher in Virus-Host Interaction Using Optical Tweezers

Are you a driven and innovative researcher eager to push the boundaries of virus-host interaction studies? Join our dynamic team to lead a groundbreaking project that combines Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Optical Tweezers (OT) to probe virus-host interactions on live cells. We are developing a unique platform that leverages these advanced techniques, and we are looking for a researcher with a background in OT to contribute to our mission. Project Overview:This project focuses on advancing our understanding of virus-host interactions at the molecular level by integrating state-of-the-art OT and AFM techniques to explore live-cell dynamics. Key Qualifications: - A Ph.D. in experimental physics, physical chemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, or a related field. - Proven experience with Optical Tweezers (OT). - Strong communication skills in English. - A record of scientific publications. Desirable Experience (not required but beneficial): - Background in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), 3D cell culture, or virus-host cell interactions. Application Requirements:Please submit a single PDF file containing: We Offer: - A full-time employment contract for 24 months. - A collaborative and supportive research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities. - Flexible start date.
