Purpose
Under general supervision provide support for department research through projects, maintenance and communication of data, and execution of laboratory experiments. Support research on the structure and dynamics and in vivo function of bacterial proteins identified as drug targets for the development of novel antibiotics.

Primary Functions

• Carry out experimental designs for sponsored research projects and perform routine experiments.
• Record and compile accurate records and communicate summaries of experimental results.
• Assist with the evaluation, interpretation and assessment of experimental data and quality control of assays.
• Participate in meetings with principal investigator and research staff and evaluate/interpret the validity of data as needed.
• Carry out assigned duties for ordering and maintaining supply of inventories.
• Operate, calibrate and perform routine maintenance on specialized equipment used in research.
• Prepare media and buffers and perform routine laboratory maintenance.
• Express and purify recombinant proteins from E. coli using column chromatography.
• Label, concentrate, and prepare samples for EPR spectroscopy and other biophysical studies.
• Operate specialized EPR spectroscopy instrumentation as trained.
• Carry out in vivo growth assays.
• Perform other scientific and administrative duties as assigned.

Knowledge – Skills – Abilities
Ability to meticulously carry out experiments as trained. Ability to accurately determine basic math and chemistry calculations, maintain records, and carry out experiments in a timely and organized manner. Ability to work independently with proper training. Attention to detail. Honesty. Integrity. Experience in growing bacterial cultures, making buffers and media, carrying out molecular biology and microbiology assays and purifying protein from bacteria will be highly beneficial.

Purpose
A postdoctoral researcher position is open in the Department of Biophysics at the 皇家华人 focusing on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology development. This project will be dedicated to the deep learning-driven design of MRI pulse sequences, image reconstruction algorithms, and the quantitative estimation of tissue parameters. These efforts contribute to a larger initiative aimed at enhancing the accuracy and reproducibility of quantitative MRI. The Center for Imaging Research at MCW houses two cutting-edge GE Premier 3T MRI systems, which will play a significant role in the research. We are seeking a candidate who is eager to work in a team-oriented laboratory environment that emphasizes innovation. The role includes mentoring graduate students in research methodologies, engaging in scientific publication, and preparation of grant proposals.

Primary Functions
Supervise and independently execute studies related to the project described above, including performing experiments, analyzing data, and disseminating results through presenting at conferences and writing manuscripts.

Knowledge 鈥� Skills 鈥� Abilities
Ideal candidates will have experience expertise in one or more of the following:

• MRI pulse sequence design (GE HealthCare EPIC Preferred)
• Programming in Python and C/C++
• Machine learning with PyTorch
• Excellent writing skills, as evidenced by first author publications
