Postdoc: Ultrafast Biomolecule Spectroscopy (TRCD/ADASOPS)

GEFAM; Palaiseau; Sur place; EUR 33 000 - 52 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

A postdoctoral position is available at Laboratory of Optics and Biosciences (LOB, Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France) to develop an experiment combining unique pump-probe methods for multiscale detection (ADASOPS) and time-resolved circular dichroism to follow structural dynamics of biomolecules from femtoseconds to milliseconds.

The project will be conducted in the Internal dynamics of biomolecules group, with CNRS supervisors Pascale Changenet and Manuel Joffre, exploring CooA, guanylate

Qualifications

• The candidate will have a PhD with experience in ultrafast spectroscopy and nonlinear optics.
• Basic knowledge in optical spectroscopy (absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism) and computer science (Python) is an asset.

Responsabilités

• Develop this experimental project at the interface of physics and biology.
• Advance TRCD and ADASOPS pump-probe methods to extend observation windows.
• Study conformational dynamics of biomolecules such as CooA, guanylate cyclase and G-quadruplex DNA.
