Description
The Lin Lab in the Institute of NanoBiotechnology & Materials Science and Engineering of Johns Hopkins University has multiple openings for postdoctoral researchers. Our research involves the development of genetically encoded molecular tools for cell biology and neuroscience. Especially, the openings here are about the development of in-cellulo protein assemblies that can either serve as actuators to mechanically perturb membrane/organelles or record the cellular signaling events. The laboratory is well funded by NIH NIGMS for the next five years.
See an example project here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.13.463862v1
Principal Investigator:
The PI, Dr. Dingchang Lin is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University. He obtained his B.S. from Tsinghua University in 2013 (with distinction) and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2018. He did his postdoctoral training at Harvard University from 2018 to 2022, where he pioneered (1) in-cellulo protein ticker tapes for neural recording; and (2) ultraflexible neural probes for chronic electrophysiological recording of the same neurons. By far, Dr. Lin has made significant scientific contributions, with ~60 publications and 18 first-/corresponding-author publications, a total citation of over 19,000 times, and an H-index of 50. As the first/corresponding authors, he has published articles in high-impact journals including Nature Biotechnology, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Chemistry, Nature Communications, PNAS, JACS, Advanced Materials, and Nano Letters. Dr. Lin has been recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher since 2019 (Web of Science), and has received awards including but not limited to NIH NIGMS MIRA Award (2022), Harvard Brain Science Initiative Young Scientist Transitions Award (2021), Materials Research Society (MRS) Graduate Student Award (2018), and Ross, N. Tucker Memorial Award (2017)
Qualifications
The candidate should have an Ph.D. degree before the start date of the appointment (senior graduate students near the completion of PhD study are welcome to apply) and at least one of the following areas:
Application Instructions
How to apply
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to equal opportunity for its faculty, staff, and students. To that end, the university does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic. The university is committed to providing qualified individuals access to all academic and employment programs, benefits and activities on the basis of demonstrated ability, performance and merit without regard to personal factors that are irrelevant to the program involved.
The successful candidate(s) for this position will be subject to a pre-employment background check.
If you are interested in applying for employment with The Johns Hopkins University and require special assistance or accommodation during any part of the pre-employment process, please contact the HR Business Services Office at jhurecruitment@jhu.edu. For TTY users, call via Maryland Relay or dial 711.
The following additional provisions may apply depending on which campus you will work. Your recruiter will advise accordingly.
During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment.
The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
