RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and apply state-of-the-art analytical imaging and biophysics instrumentation, and/or systems biology (omics) tools, and/or computational biology tools to address biology research challenges in one or more of the Division's focus areas: 1) elucidating pathways and mechanisms that impact cancer/aging, genome dynamics, and understanding of molecular machines; and 2) understanding effects on biological systems of energy-related impacts such as low-dose radiation, biofuels and microbial systems, and nanoparticles.
• Establish world-class bioscience technology capabilities to strengthen the Division's and the Lab's prominence in development of novel bioscience tools.
• Develop a strong independent research program while participating effectively in selected multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research programs, in collaboration with scientists throughout LBNL as well as at neighboring University of California campuses.
• Communicate research results through publications in internationally-recognized journals, as well as presentations (lectures, seminars, and posters at international scientific conferences).
• Ensure that research responsibilities are aligned and consistent with the goals of the Life Sciences Division of LBNL and the US Department of Energy.

• Manage and oversee day-to day function of the laboratory and independently troubleshoot issues.

REQUIREMENTS

• PhD in Physical or Biomedical Sciences or related field and 3 or more years of related postdoctoral research or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Proven ability to conduct independent, productive research in one or more of the bioscience technology areas identified above
• Project management experience including experience with managing multiple projects simultaneously, and tracking budgets for each
• Proven ability and experience to facilitate constructive and productive team efforts involving scientific and administrative support staff
• Extensive experience in multi-disciplinary research, microscopy, cell biology, molecular biology, bioengineering or biophysics, and biochemistry
• Excellent organizational, verbal, and written communication skills, demonstrated by publications, presentations, and successful grant applications
• Demonstrated ability as an independent problem solver, team member, and effective project manager to accomplish project goals
• Proven ability to secure extramural funding
