Postdoctoral Opportunity in Experimental Nanobiophysics

A postdoctoral position is available in the Dutcher group at the 
University of Guelph, Canada to study the nanomechanical properties of 
live bacterial cells under different environmental conditions and their 
response to novel antimicrobial compounds. Extensive experience in 
atomic force microscopy (AFM) under ambient and fluid conditions, and a 
strong record of publication in peer-reviewed literature attesting to 
these abilities, is required. A Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry or a related 
discipline, awarded in the last five years, is necessary. Additional 
responsibilities will include training and supervision of students, and 
preparation of reports and manuscripts for publication.

This project is part of a large multidisciplinary project within the 
Advanced Foods and Materials Network (AFMnet), a national Network of 
Centres of Excellence, led by Professor John Dutcher. The research team 
includes world-leading microbiologists, physicists, chemists, 
mathematicians and engineers from across Canada. A description of our 
extensive experimental facilities for studying large molecules at 
surfaces can be found at: http://www.physics.uoguelph.ca/psi/equipment.shtml

The University of Guelph is a research-intensive university with a 
student body population of 18,000 students located in Guelph, Ontario. 
The City of Guelph has a college town atmosphere with the big city 
(Toronto) only 80 km away. Guelph is in the heart of the largest 
concentration of universities and industry in Canada, with easy access 
to the Toronto International airport (60 km away).
