The Zidovska Lab at the Center for Soft Matter Research in Physics Dept. at New York
University (https://physics.nyu.edu/zidovskalab/index.html) invites applications for a full-
time postdoctoral associate position. The Zidovska Lab is a cell biophysics lab focusing
on the physics of the genome and the cell nucleus. We use experimental, analytical and
computational approaches from biophysics, polymer physics and soft condensed matter
physics to reveal the physical principles governing behavior of the genome in live cells.
Examples of our experimental tools include high-resolution optical microscopy, small
angle X-ray scattering and genome editing. We seek candidates who are interested in
studying physical aspects of the genome such as non-equilibrium organization,
dynamics, rheology, emergent phenomena, phase separations, hydrodynamics and
functional liquid condensates in the cell nucleus.

We expect appointed candidates to conduct research, design and perform experiments,
analyze data, write academic publications and proposals, give presentations at
conferences and mentor graduate and undergraduate students. The initial appointment
is for one year, with the possibility of a second and a third year subject to performance
and continued funding.

The following documents will be required when applying: CV, a brief summary of your dissertation, one sample publication and two reference letters to be submitted on Interfolio.

In compliance with NYC?s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $58,500 - $65,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Appointed candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Physics, Biophysics or a related field by
the time of appointment, with no more than 5 years of post-PhD training. Experience in
soft matter physics or biophysics experiments strongly recommended.
