Post-doctoral Position in Bacterial Nanomechanics

We are seeking a post-doctoral candidate to carry out a project on nanomechanical measurements of micro-organisms (bacteria) using AFM. The project is likely to also involve other physical chemistry techniques, and aims to continue recent successful work in this area in our lab. It is part of a large-scale ongoing project to study the basis of microbial antibiotic action / resistance using physical chemistry (in this case microscopic and spectroscopic) techniques. The project will be carried out at Requimte/The Department of Chemistry of the University of Porto, Portugal. The candidate is expected to apply for a post-doctoral grant from the FCT (Portuguese funding agency), with our support and supervision. The project will be jointly supervised by Drs. Peter Eaton and Paula Gameiro, with microbiological supervision by Dr. Maria Feio. The FCT grants have the value of ca. 1500 euros pcm, and are renewable annually for up to 3 years. The ideal candidate would have experience of AFM-based measurements of micro-organisms and experience of FTIR spectroscopy. Knowledge of standard microbiological techniques would be an advantage. Application should be made by sending a CV, including details of experimental techniques and all publications (in preparation, in press and published), via email to either Dr. Peter Eaton (peter.eaton@fc.up.pt), or Dr. Paula Gameiro (agsantos@fc.up.pt). The FCT grant application call is now open, so responses should reach us before 15th July. -- Dr. Peter Eaton Investigador Auxiliar REQUIMTE, Departamento de Química Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto Rua do Campo Alegre, 687 4169-007 Porto Portugal peter.eaton@fc.up.pt http://www.fc.up.pt/pessoas/peter.eaton/
