How to Apply:

　　Interested

　　candidates should send their CV, summary of prior research experience, future

　　research interests and career goals and a list of three references to Dr.

　　Tobias Giessen at tgiessen@umich.edu.

　　Job Summary:

　　A Postdoctoral

　　Research Fellow position is available in the lab of Dr. Tobias Giessen in the

　　Biomedical Engineering department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

　　Passionate and highly motivated scientists interested in the chemistry, biology

　　and engineering of microbial metabolism are encouraged to apply.

　　The

　　Giessen Lab conducts interdisciplinary research at the interface of basic and

　　applied science utilizing a broad range of approaches including biochemistry,

　　microbiology, structural biology and synthetic biology. The lab’s current focus

　　lies on understanding and engineering large protein assemblies with a focus on

　　megadalton protein organelles like encapsulin nanocompartments and bacterial

　　microcompartments involved in stress resistance, nutrient utilization and

　　pathogenesis. Basic science: The lab

　　seeks to explore and understand the functional diversity of protein organelles,

　　specifically in the context of the human microbiome, and to investigate their

　　contribution towards human health and disease. This will involve detailed functional

　　and structural studies of a given protein organelle system. Applied science: Using protein

　　engineering and synthetic biology we aim to design and build novel protein

　　assemblies and integrate them with advanced genetic circuits to tackle real

　　world problems in biomedicine, catalysis and sustainability. These efforts will

　　result in novel living diagnostics and therapeutics, programmable nanomaterials

　　and catalytic nanoreactors. Multiple basic and applied projects are available.

　　Required Qualifications:

　　A PhD

　　degree is required. A strong background in chemistry, biology, biological

　　engineering or other related discipline is required.

　　Desired Qualifications:

　　Experience

　　with molecular biology, protein biochemistry and structural biology, both x-ray

　　crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy, is a big plus.

　　Background Screening

　　University of

　　Michigan Health System conducts background screening and pre-employment drug

　　testing on job candidates upon acceptance of a contingent job offer and may use

　　a third party administrator to conduct background screenings. Background

　　screenings are performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Report Act.

　　Application Deadline

　　Job openings are posted for a minimum of seven calendar

　　days.  This job may be removed from posting boards and filled anytime

　　after the minimum posting period has ended.

　　U-M EEO/AA Statement

　　The

　　University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
