Postdoctoral Fellow in Nano-Raman (TERS) Imaging

The laboratory of Dr. Dmitry Kurouski seeks to hire a postdoctoral fellow or a technician to develop time-resolved nano-Raman imaging for the structural characterization of biological specimens. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in optics and spectroscopy. A substantial knowledge of physical chemistry is also important to succeed in the research project.

The goal of the project is to (i) improve the performance of the commercially available HORIBA tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) system and (ii) couple the system with femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy. The project will require a strong knowledge in time-resolved Raman spectroscopy and TERS, including fabrication of scanning probes and nanoscale imaging.

The candidate will work in a dynamic multicultural laboratory located at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. The candidate will lead the project, perform experiments, and write papers. The candidate will also have an opportunity to collaborate with other research groups at Texas A&M University.

We are located in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M University (College Station, TX), 2-2.5 hours away from Houston, Dallas and Austin.

How to Apply: A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered to the successful candidate. Interested applicants should send a single PDF file of their current CV with publications list to Prof. Dmitry Kurouski (dkurouski@tamu.edu). For more information, visit our website: kurouskilab.com
