Essential Job Duties:

The Physics Department provides: (1) High quality Physics instruction to the University community through courses in introductory physics; (2) educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in physics through high quality curricula, faculty, and research facilities; (3) outreach programs that advance scientific knowledge. Our research programs cover a varied spectrum including astrophysics, general relativity, condensed matter theory and experiment, computational physics, biophysics, nanoscale science, physics education, experimental nuclear physics, particle and nuclear theory, experimental optics, and experimental atomic and molecular physics. The department enrolls approximately 120 graduate students and 140 undergrad physics majors. The department size is approximately 56 faculty members. Please visit our Sciences Strategic Plan and the College of Sciences Culture Charter to learn more about the College of Sciences.

NC State promotes an integrated approach to problem solving that transforms lives and provides leadership for social, economic, and technological development across North Carolina and around the world. NC State’s land grant mission of teaching, research and service is dedicated to the service of North Carolina and its people. Applicants are encouraged to review the institution’s mission, vision and strategic plan, and consider how their background, interest and experience would enable them to support the university.

Other Duties and Responsibilities

The LeBlanc lab is looking for a curious mind with a passion for research and science outreach to join our operation. We conduct research at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology in a highly collaborative environment. We use tools and techniques from biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The goal of the funded research project is to uncover the detailed molecular mechanisms of biological pathways (especially ribosome assembly) by studying transient protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions that drive the pathways forward at the single-molecule level. Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art tools to express, purify, fluorescently label, and monitor enzymes in action. The centerpiece of our lab is a custom single-molecule time-resolved fluorescence microscope capable of FLIM, PIE-FRET, and FCS measurements. The funding also supports outreach projects.

The postdoctoral research scholar will use single-molecule time-resolved fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy to study the detailed mechanisms of ribosome assembly and other essential biological pathways. Specifically, we are interested in exploring the mechanism of action of key ATPases in the ribosome assembly pathway. The successful candidate will conduct experiments, analyze data, communicate effectively with our collaborators, and prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals.

Other Work/Responsibilities:

The postdoc will also mentor junior lab members and work with other lab members on outreach initiatives funded by the grant. Other duties include those required for basic functioning of a biophysics lab. Occasional night and weekend work is required to meet deadlines. Perform other duties as assigned by the supervisor.
