Role details

Applications are invited for an individual to be appointed as a postdoctoral associate in NYU Structural DNA Nanotechnology Laboratory under the supervision of Professor James Canary. The research will focus on the design, assembly, and high-throughput characterization of multi-strand DNA assemblies (including large-scale multi-component crystals, tiles, brick and origami systems). This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of DNA structural engineering, synthetic biology, and material science. The postdoctoral researcher will directly interface with existing projects in nanoelectronics, topology and DNA-templated catalysis.

Experience with DNA nanotechnology is preferred. The employment terms, which are for one year with a possible renewal, include a competitive salary and other benefits. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. This position is based in New York and the selected candidate will be expected to work onsite as of their effective start date. In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, this position's annual base salary range is $62,500.00 – $62,500.00. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a closely related discipline.
