Postdoctoral Fellow - Cell Biology and Quantitative Microscopy

City of Hope

Location: Duarte, CA

Job Number: 7118303 (Ref #: 10019178)

Posting Date: Apr 13, 2023

Salary / Pay Rate: $31.00 - $34.23 / hour

Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

Job Description

A Postdoctoral Fellow Position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Tijana Jovanovic-Talisman. Biological nanoparticles that are continuously shed by cells namely extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an emerging and exciting strategy for performing minimally invasive diagnoses. Because EVs are loaded with disease-specific molecules, they represent an excellent source of biomarkers. The project involves employing cell biology and super-resolution microscopy approaches to characterize extracellular vesicles that contain disease-specific or tissue-specific molecules. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a new platform to perform molecular level diagnoses for precision medicine.

Key Responsibilities include:

We seek a Postdoctoral Fellow with experience in cell biology and quantitative microscopy. The Postdoctoral Fellow will purify and manipulate EVs from cultured cells and plasma, perform imaging experiments using single molecule localization microscopy, and complete data analysis to characterize molecular content of extracellular vesicles.

Basic education, experience and skills required for consideration:

・A Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences, Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline is required with no more than 3 years of postdoctoral training.

・Experience in quantitative microscopy and cell biology.

・Ability to carry out independent research and prepare manuscripts for publication.

・Experience with super-resolution microscopy, extracellular vesicles, and MATLAB programming is preferred.

Additional Information:

As a condition of employment, City of Hope requires staff to comply with all state and federal vaccination mandates.

About Dr. Jovanovic-Talisman: Tijana Jovanovic-Talisman, PhD is an Associate Professor in the department of Cancer Biology and Molecular Medicine. Dr. Talisman currently has multiple projects actively supported by the NIH. She and team are investigating biological processes that are critical to the progression of cancer and other diseases by using quantitative single molecule localization microscopy.
