Postdoctoral Fellow — Molecular Analysis of Photosynthetic Complexes

Job overview

The Postdoctoral Fellow role is onsite at OSU-Stillwater in Stillwater, OK. The hiring range is $45,844 per year. The position is a DOE-supported research appointment of 12 months or less, with possible renewal based on performance and funding. The fellow will join a research group focused on molecular genetics, genetic transformation, and biochemistry. The role investigates the assembly and function of photosynthetic complexes using a cyanobacterial model organism. Molecular genetic, biochemical, and biophysical approaches will help clarify photosynthetic mechanisms at cellular and molecular levels, contributing to the group’s research and published work.

What you'll do

• Study the assembly and function of photosynthetic complexes using a cyanobacterial model organism
• apply molecular genetic, biochemical, and biophysical approaches
• use training in photosynthetic physiology analysis, including chlorophyll fluorescence and polarography, to characterize genetic constructs
• pursue independent published research as a preferred capability.
