| | Position Summary |
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available at Dr. Clement Chan’s Lab at the University of North Texas, Department of Biomedical Engineering. This is a full-time position with standard employee benefits. There is also a budget for this postdoc to travel and present research work at national conferences. The research laboratory is located at the campus of University of North Texas in Denton, which is within the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a major metropolitan in U.S. with a ranking of #4 by population size and #6 by economic outputs. Our campus is close to the DFW international airport that provides direct flights to most major cities. The region is highly diverse with a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment and recreation facilities.
The postdoc will focus on projects for development of genetic circuits in microorganisms, which involves cloning and expressing genes in various microbes, and characterizing the engineered microbes with various techniques, such as flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, and transcriptomics. These projects are expected to develop biological devices for tackling environmental, biomedical, and industrial problems. Previous work of our principle investigator, Dr. Chan, can be found from this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/clement.chan.1/bibliography/public/ .
Further details of our ongoing work are available from the following list of our recently funded projects:
• NIH R35GM142421. Development of Genetic Sensors and Circuits for Creating Novel Cellular Behaviors (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/s7wB4YvKTEq_LsMQ3o6ONQ/project-details/10267505 )
• NIH R15GM135813. Design and construct modular transcriptional repressors to facilitate the development of living diagnostics (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/Twzwh9rafEq7sfsWrHjtRQ/project-details/9879608 )
• NSF MCB-1914538. Developing modular repressors as in vivo biosensors in various organisms (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1914538 )
