Postdoctoral Research Associate : College Station, TX, United States

Post-doctoral positions in the following areas:

1. Antibody engineering for the generation of cancer therapeutics
2. Fluorescence microscopy, including single molecule analyses, for the study of subcellular trafficking of cancer therapeutics
3. Instrumentation development for fluorescence microscopy

Post-doctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Drs. E. Sally Ward and Raimund J. Ober in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University. The post-doctoral appointees will carry out research on projects involving the development of antibody-based cancer therapeutics that target growth factor receptors and other tumor antigens. These studies will use a combination of antibody engineering, state-of-the-art fluorescence microscopy techniques and in vivo studies in mouse cancer models. The projects have direct relevance to the rapidly expanding use of antibodies in the biopharma industry. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in any biological area, (bio)engineering, biotechnology, chemistry or physics. Relevant experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable but is not essential: protein engineering, fluorescence microscopy (live cell imaging, single molecule analyses) and/or mouse tumor models.
