We are always looking for talented and motivated people to join our group at any level (undergraduates, technicians, PhD students, postdocs, visiting scholars). People with a background in any area of science, engineering, or mathematics are welcome. We are currently pursuing work in the following general areas (listed in no particular order):
- Biophysics of cell signaling and stress response; Biomolecular condensates; G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs); Cell and molecular biology
- Cryo-vitrification via cryo-plunging and high-pressure freezing; Time-resolved freezing;
- Microfluidics; design, simulation, prototyping, fabrication and testing of fluidic devices
- Electron microscopy (cryo and regular) for structural and cell biology;
- Cathodoluminescence; Biological nanoprobe development; Nanoparticles; Photonics
- Biophysical instrumentation: optical and mechanical design, simulation, development and control;
- Optical imaging; Single-molecule fluorescence and FRET; Lasers; Pump-probe experiments
If you are interested in joining the group , please contact Max at maxim_prigozhin@harvard.edu.
Please include a brief cover letter, a CV, and contact information for the recommenders.
Graduate students are encouraged to apply through the following PhD programs at Harvard University:
- Applied Physics and other graduate programs within the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), e.g. BioE, MechE, etc. (https://www.seas.harvard.edu/applied-physics/graduate-program)
- Molecules, Cells, and Organisms (https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/graduate/mco/)
- Biophysics (https://biophysics.fas.harvard.edu/)
- Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology (https://ssqbiophd.hms.harvard.edu/)
In your application, please indicate your interest in pursuing your PhD work in the Prigozhin group.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
