The Fellow will implement two complementary platforms: Amplicon/Protein Bead Display (APB-Display) for rapid production, screening, and quantitative characterization of protein or nanobody libraries; and SMA/SMALP or related membrane-active-polymer workflows for detergent-free extraction of membrane proteins and associated lipids into native nanodiscs. The position serves as the principal biochemical resource for the two existing optical-methods postdocs and works closely with the chemical-spectroscopy postdoc on toxicant-induced changes in proteins, membranes, and lipid environments. The appointment is intended to prepare the Fellow for an independent research career in academia, government, or industry.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0; text-align: start;"> </p><p style="margin: 0; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></span></p><div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW246746911 BCX8" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p><ul><li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="e56c0b2a9008b929f052db40258902e4b"><p class="Paragraph SCXW246746911 BCX8" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"><span class="TextRun SCXW246746911 BCX8 NormalTextRun" style="font-weight:bold;line-height:20.7px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US">Biochemical support. </span><span class="TextRun SCXW246746911 BCX8 NormalTextRun" style="line-height:20.7px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US">Establish routine molecular-biology, protein-expression, purification, conjugation, and biochemical-assay support for organoid projects, including recombinant protein and nanobody production in bacterial, yeast, cell-free, or mammalian systems as appropriate.</span></span></p></li><li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ea0e4db1a359f85c959380f34dc8f84c9"><p class="Paragraph SCXW246746911 BCX8" style="background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt;"><span class="TextRun SCXW246746911 BCX8 NormalTextRun" style="font-weight:bold;line-height:20.7px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US">APB-Display implementation. </span><span class="TextRun SCXW246746911 BCX8 NormalTextRun" style="line-height:20.7px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US">Implement APB-Display using dual-functional hydrogel beads, pooled DNA libraries, particle-templated emulsification, emulsion PCR, emulsion in-vitro transcription/translation, SNAP-mediated protein capture, fluorescence-based expression and binding measurements, FACS sorting, and sequencing-based readout.</span></span></p></li><li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="eff6b645cd5a361d7da97ab
