Position description
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites
applications of qualified Postdoctoral Scholar applicants to work closely with the PI Han and a consortium of
collaborators in the fields of biophysics and magnetic resonance spectroscopy study of tau protein dynamics, assembly and aggregation. The focus of the study will be on the elucidation of shape propagation in pathological tau protein aggregation by dipolar EPR and NMR spectroscopy.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry will be hiring one or two positions, depending on funding
availability. The Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed. Positions are full-time.
The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the
academic community through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.
