US: Research Associate

Multiple research positions (2 Research Associates) are available in biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, medicinal chemistry, and bioinformatics. Specific research topics include: (1) nanoparticles for gene and siRNA delivery; (2) nanotechnology for molecular analysis and detection of atherosclerosis plaques; (3) nanoparticle reagents for sensitive imaging of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases; (4) nanoparticle organ uptake, distribution, and toxicology; (5) biomedical applications of Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; (6) cellular image processing and 3-D reconstruction;(7) synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents; and (8) molecular histopathology and correlation of biomarkers with clinical outcome. The minimum requirements include a PhD or MD degree in engineering, chemistry, biology, or medicine, at least two first-author papers in high-quality journals (impact factor > 5.0), and an interest in collaborative work at the interface of science, engineering, and medicine. We offer competitive salaries plus fringe benefits.

To apply, send a cover letter, an updated CV, and names of 3-4 references to Ms. Michelle Denney, Program Coordinator, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Emory University, 101 Woodruff Circle, Suite 2007, Atlanta, GA 30322. Electronic applications are encouraged and should be addressed to Ms. Michelle Denney at mdenney@emory.edu.
