The Physics of Life and Quantitative Biology
Our objective is to create a critical mass at the interface of bioscience and physics, building on our strong track record in this area. Recruitment will cover a research arc from soft matter physics through quantitative methods and approaches for studying living systems, to the physical principles of how living things function.
We are looking for individuals whose research is strongly cross-disciplinary requiring knowledge, understanding and approaches from both disciplines, with a split of the positions across the School of Biosciences and the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

NABLAB (go.tufts.edu/NABLAB) at Tufts University led by Dr. Igor Sokolov is looking to fill two #postdoctoral openings in the area of atomic force microscopy (#AFM):
1. To study #physics of #cancer, to develop a new area of #bioinformatics. We are looking for enthusiastic, collaborative, and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to participate in an ambitious project to introduce atomic force microscopy (#AFM) to #medicine. Needed: Knowledge of atomic force microscopy, experience in imaging soft materials, and Ph.D. in Physics or related areas.
2. To study mechanical properties of cells. Here we will develop a new AFM mode to measure dynamic properties of cells. Needed: Knowledge of #LabView, (knowledge of #FPGA libraries is highly desirable), at least basic familiarity with atomic force microscopy, and Ph.D. in #ElectricalEngineering or related areas.
About the lab: We are problem solvers without borders. NABLAB (Nanoengineering and Biotechnology Laboratory) is a highly interdisciplinary research group working on the innovative areas of Engineering for Health. Relevant to this opening, the group has pioneered new methods of the detection of cancer, developed new modes of AFM (#RingingMode, #FT-NanoDMA), been creating a new area of bioinformatics based on physical properties of cells (OuterOmics).
Within our lab we have four state-of-the-art Bruker AFMs, Nanoindenter (Micromechanics), Confocal Raman microscope (Witec), Confocal scanning laser microscope (Leica Stellaris 8 Falcon), SEM Phenom, DLS Nanosizer, Multiple optical spectrometers, Advanced imaging cameras, etc. Members of NABLAB have access to its rich intellectual and entrepreneurial ecosystem – some of the members of the lab have even started successful companies. Lab members come from different backgrounds and countries providing a rich atmosphere for engaging and cross-disciplinary research.
Place: The lab is situated in the Greater Boston area with opportunities to work with some of the best hospitals and universities in the country.
If interested or questions, email your letter + CV to Prof. Igor Sokolov: igor.sokolov AT tufts.edu

Dear colleagues and friends,
my recently founded Junior Research Group at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University Munich is looking for its first team members.
Currently, we have a 2-year funded postdoc position available, and a PhD as well as lab technician position will open soon (details will follow).
I am looking for motivated, ambitious candidates willing to cross borders between biophysics and food systems biology/ food chemistry, and to help me tackling food-related questions using advanced biophysical tools such as the bio atomic force microscope.
I would appreciate help in finding candidates, so please spread the word. Details can be found in the attachment!!
Many thanks!
With best wishes,
Melanie Köhler

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Opportunities in the Li Group
in University of British Columbia
The Laboratory of Dr. Hongbin Li at Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows who wish to advance their research and career prospects. The Li group is using single molecule force spectroscopy techniques to understand the molecular design principles of elastomeric proteins involved in various mechano-biological processes, to rationally engineer novel protein building blocks with well-defined mechanical properties, and to engineer protein-based biomaterials with tailored mechanical properties for biomedical applications (for details please see
https://chem.ubc.ca/hongbin-li).
Two highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellows are sought to join our ongoing research efforts in two areas: 1) single molecule force spectroscopy on proteins; 2) protein-based biomaterials. Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, chemical/biological engineering or a closely related field obtained within the past five years. Although prior expertise with protein engineering, and/or single molecule studies is preferred, candidates with demonstrated excellence in their graduate studies from a diverse range of backgrounds will be considered. The positions will be for two years.
To apply, please submit a cover letter and most updated curriculum vitae. The cover letter should describe research experience and career goals. Please send electronic application to Dr. Hongbin Li (
hongbin@chem.ubc.ca). Only successful candidates will be notified for interviews, at which time references letters will be requested for assessment.

A junior researcher position is available to work on the electrical characterization of
Engineered Conductive Proteins for Bioelectronics (eProt)
at the Department of Applied Physics, University of Alicante, Spain
We are looking for highly motivated young researchers to participate in a multidisciplinary project within an international team of physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers. The exciting and challenging goal of the eProt project is to develop protein-based materials capable of conducting electricity and thus with potential for their integration in the design of future wearable bioelectronic devices (more information in the website: https://www.e-prot.com/)
Proteins, the building blocks of life, are structurally robust and inherently biocompatible materials. However, the electrical conduction properties of these systems are still far from those of the materials which are typically used in electronics. As part of the eProt project, our role at the UA is to characterize the electrical properties of the artificial protein materials synthesized by our partners, and to understand the fundamental mechanisms of conduction, to provide valuable feedback for the optimization of their conductivity and to enable their technological application.
Suitable candidates should have a bachelor or master degree in Physics, Engineering, Chemistry or related fields. A predoctoral or a technical staff contract can be offered based on the candidate's background and interest. The tasks of the selected candidate will include the electrical and structural characterization of the biomaterials produced by our partners, by impedance measurements on thin films and Scanning Probe techniques on nanoassemblies.
The candidate will work under the direct supervision of Dr. Reyes Calvo and Dr. Carlos Sabater, who hold a broad expertise in the electrical characterization of materials and nanoscale systems. At the Department of Applied Physics, we enjoy a collaborative and vibrant research atmosphere in condensed matter physics and materials science.
To apply please send your complete CV and a cover letter to reyes.calvo@ua.es as soon as possible, we are looking for motivated candidates to start if possible early 2022.
