A joint postdoctoral position will be available between my group and Ajay Gopinathan’s group at UC Merced starting in the fall of 2010. We are seeking two motivated theoretical physicists with a soft condensed matter/biophysics background to fill two separate postdoctoral positions. These positions involve theoretical and computational research on biological transport at the molecular, cellular and multicellular scales. Specific projects include motor-driven intracellular transport, gated transport through membrane pores and transport in multicellular communities.

The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field (or obtain one by Summer 2011), a good publication record, expertise in soft-matter/statistical mechanics/polymer physics/biophysics theory and be well-versed in numerical simulations.

Interested applicants should submit 1) a cover letter 2) curriculum vitae 3) statement of research and 4) a list of three references with contact information including mailing address, phone number and e-mail address to http://jobs.ucmerced.edu/n/academic/position.jsf?positionId=2948
