The NanoBioPhysics lab is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join its team. The successful candidate will lead a research project aimed at understanding virus-host interactions using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). This is a full-time, two-year appointment with the possibility of renewal based on performance and funding availability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, conduct, and manage cutting-edge experiments to study virus-host interactions using AFM
• Collaborate with other members of the laboratory and interdisciplinary research teams to advance the field
• Publish findings in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences
• Mentor and supervise graduate students and/or research technicians

Qualifications:

• A PhD in Biophysics, Physics, Biochemistry, or a related field
• Strong expertise in AFM and its applications to biological systems
• Experience in virus-host interaction studies is highly desirable
• A proven track record of scientific productivity, as evidenced by publications in high-impact journals
• Strong computational skills and familiarity with data analysis software is an asset (e.g., MATLAB, ImageJ, etc.)

Please send your application including a cover letter explaining your background, a CV and names and contact details of 2-3 references by
