Postdoc in DNA/RNA nanotechnology for cell regulation

This postdoctoral position focuses on advanced research in DNA and RNA nanotechnology with applications in cell regulation. The role requires expertise in designing and synthesizing nucleic acid-based nanostructures, including DNA and RNA origami or other self-assembling nanomaterials. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology techniques, nucleic acid chemistry, and biophysical characterization methods such as atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, or fluorescence imaging to analyze nanostructure formation and function. Experience with cell culture and cellular assays is essential to evaluate the regulatory effects of these nanomaterials on cellular processes. Familiarity with gene expression modulation, RNA interference, or CRISPR-based technologies would be advantageous. The position demands a deep understanding of nucleic acid interactions, thermodynamics, and the ability to integrate nanotechnology approaches with biological systems. Strong skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication are critical for successful project execution and dissemination of findings. The role is suited for candidates with a doctoral degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, nanotechnology, or a related field, demonstrating rigorous academic training and research experience in nucleic acid nanotechnology or synthetic biology. Overall, the postdoc will contribute to innovative strategies for controlling cellular behavior through programmable nucleic acid nanodevices, requiring interdisciplinary expertise bridging chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology.
