Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the CAS, v.v.i., offers a postdoctoral position in the Department of Biophysical Chemistry

The postdoctoral fellow will work on an experimental project focused on the study of protein aggregation on lipid membranes using advanced fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy methods. The project is aimed at the investigation of protein aggregation induced by interaction with model lipid membranes. Various bulk and single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy/microscopy methods will be used in the study. After probation period, funding is available until 31.12.2019. Possible extension will depend on candidate performance and available funds.

More informations are available from Dr. Mariana  Amaro (e-mail: amarojh-inst.cas.cz)
