Biophysics @ Princeton
As part of a continuing effort to strengthen research and teaching at the interface of physics and biology, Princeton University will make one or more appointments of theorists who have recently completed their PhDs. Postdoctoral Research Associates will join a highly interactive group, with interests ranging from the dynamics of single molecules to neural computation, and from biochemical and genetic networks to collective behavior in populations; several senior theorists are available as mentors, and there are opportunities for collaboration with experimentalists on this full range of problems. Postdocs are hired for one year with the expectation of reappointment, typically for a total of three years.
In addition, exceptional candidates who are ready to lead their own research programs will be considered for appointment as Lewis-Sigler Fellows (Associate Research Scholar). This is an independent position for a three year term with the expectation of reappointment for another two years. Subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, Fellows have the opportunity to teach in an interdisciplinary program for undergraduates as well as to guide students in research projects. They receive a research budget and, when they teach, they are appointed to the faculty as Lecturer in Physics.
Applications should be submitted online at http://jobs.princeton.edu by December 15, 2009, using Req #0900514. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a short description of their research interests and 3 letters of reference.

Postdoctoral position - Llinás lab
Lewis-Sigler Institute
Princeton University
The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics seeks
applicants for the laboratory of Dr. Manuel
Llinás. Dr. Llinás' lab is applying a variety of approaches
to investigate 1) the molecular mechanism of transcriptional
regulation in Plasmodium falciparum and 2) large-scale
parasite-derived metabolic processes and interactions. We are using a
variety of high-throughput genomic approaches to analyze the role of
transcription factors during parasite development. The lab also
applies a variety of biochemical and genetic approaches to dissect
these regulatory processes and to characterize their genome-wide
interactions. In addition, in our metabolomics work we are utilizing
HPLC-MS/MS to specifically quantitate metabolite levels throughout the
parasite lifecycle.
The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, housed in the
Carl Icahn Laboratory at Princeton University, was established to
innovate in research and teaching at the interface of modern biology
and the more quantitative sciences. It is very well set up for
bioinformatics and genomic approaches to Plasmodium biology and has
excellent support facilities. The Institute is also the hub of the
Center for Quantitative Biology, funded by the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences, one of the National Institutes of
Health.
Applicants should recently have received their Ph.D. and/or
M.D. and have strong interest in malaria parasitology. Experience in
tissue culture and molecular biology techniques is preferred. Facility
with computers and programming is desirable. Rank and salary dependent
upon qualifications.
Applications should be submitted online at http://jobs.princeton.edu.
(Req. # 0800767). Applications should include a curriculum vitae that
includes a list of publications and a brief statement (3 pages) of
research interests and goals. On the application form, please give
three references that you have asked to send letters of
recommendation. Reference letters should be sent to the address
