Two Post-doctoral positions are available immediately in the Bio-imaging and Biophysics laboratory at the Indianapolis campus of the Indiana University (IU). The candidates will work with Dr. Jing Liu (urraliu@iupui.edu), and will be affiliated with the Department of Physics at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The laboratory focuses on the application of physical science in fundamental cell biology, which have a direct therapeutic impact on various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Candidate 1 will work on a NIH funded project (2022-2027) to study the biophysical properties of the chromatin dynamics, and its reciprocal relations with the intracellular activities, such as DNA damage, transcription, and epigenetic modification.

The IUSCCC has been growing with the conscious effort and intention to increase the number of women and those underrepresented in the division at all levels of their academic careers. We recognize each faculty member has unique contributions and challenges and is committed to ensure and facilitate the success of all members.

Indianapolis is the 14th largest city in the United States and is growing and thriving economically thanks to a strong corporate base anchored by the life sciences. Indiana is home to one of the largest concentrations of health sciences companies in the nation. The vibrant downtown is a bustling commercial center, entertainment destination and an eclectic mix of residential neighborhoods. Population growth is driven by rich amenities and quality of life – the greater Indianapolis area is home to a variety of top professional sports teams, museums and arts venues, performing arts troupes and outdoor recreation areas. Importantly, Indianapolis and its surrounding suburbs are great places to raise a family with excellent K-12 public schools, private education options and early childhood development programs with many kid friendly activities to pursue in free time. Indianapolis is a diverse metropolitan community with residents from all ethnic and religious backgrounds with churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and non-denomination houses of worship, all represented in the city and surrounding suburbs.

As the nation’s largest medical school, IUSM is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence.
