from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to conduct basic and
advanced research in Nanoscience in industrial, governmental, or
academic settings. Within this context, the Nanoscience Department
provides a graduate level trans-disciplinary educational and
discovery research experience in nanosciences, sustainable
nanosystems, innovation, and community engaged outreach. It also
works collaboratively with the Nanoengineering Department to
achieve an integrated foundational research program in emerging
high impact areas. Scientists in this new and emerging field seek
to comprehend, gather and organize knowledge of the nanoworld
through careful observations and creative, visionary thinking.
Nanoscience is a multidisciplinary field bringing together vast
knowledge from mathematics and all the core sciences: physics,
biology, chemistry, and from their derivatives such as material
science, pharmacology, neurochemistry, ecology, etc. Consequently,
nanoscientists are scientists engaging in an organized activity of
manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular
scales that are versatile and fluent in mathematics and the core
sciences with a particular world view based on the synergy of these
core sciences and on their derived applications to the macro world.
Nanoscience is a new way of thinking about old things. Position Summary The primary purpose of this position is to provide technical
research support for experimental work in the Josephs lab related
to microbiological research funded by NIH grant 1R35GM133483-01
entitled "Complex Mechanisms of Mutation and Mutation Avoidance in
Living Cells." Responsibilities include preparation and performance
of standard biomolecular and microbiological assays; preparation of
DNA for sequencing; and growth, maintenance, and transformation of
