Postdoctoral Research Associate - College of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering (DNA origami nanosensors)

Carnegie Mellon's Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks a postdoctoral research associate for its applied nanotechnology lab, working on the production and characterisation of multivalent DNA origami nanosensors. The postdoc leads lab activities in cloning and synthesis for nucleic acid nanotechnology, designs and validates molecular sensing circuits, carries out experiments in BSL2 laboratory space, performs quantitative analyses with data-rich visualisations, writes standard operating procedures and trains lab members.

PhD in engineering, computational biology, biophysics, chemistry, molecular biology, genetics or a related field; laboratory expertise in DNA nanotechnology and/or molecular programming; analytical chemistry skills are a plus.
