[Georgia State University] – [Chemistry] - Jin Research Group - Synthetic Biology/Coacervates/Enzyme Kinetics/Contrast Agents – PhD/Post-doc Recruitment - Fall 2024
[Recruitment Plan]
Join Dr. Zhicheng Jin’s team at Georgia State University’s Chemistry Department (GSU-CHEM)! Hi there, we’re looking for 1 postdoctoral researcher, 2 doctoral students, and 2 master's students to dive into groundbreaking research. Our focus? Delving into enzyme kinetics using innovative peptides and nanomaterials, with applications as contrast agents in bioimaging. Check out our current projects:
(1) Crafting biosensors with a range of materials like peptides, coacervates, and nanomaterials, while exploring how interfacial enzyme kinetics play into the mix.
(2) Developing enzyme-responsive contrast agents for bioimaging applications, particularly in assessing immunotherapy efficacy.
Our research website is in the works, but for more insights, please scope out Dr. Jin’s Google Scholar profile:
scholar.google.com
[Post-doctoral Position, $48,000 in the first year]
Got a background that meshes with our research aims? Experience in peptide synthesis, coacervates/nanomaterial assembly, or enzyme kinetics? We’d love to hear from you! Applicants should hold or soon complete a Ph.D. in chemistry/biomaterials/biomedical engineering or related fields. Please send your application to Dr. Jin's personal inbox: [email protected]. Please subject your email: Post-doc - [Your Name] - [Your Research Area]. Attach a merged PDF including 1. your CV; 2. a Cover Letter outlining your research background and skills (that you can use in the first day); 3. a representative publication; and 4. contact details, titles, and professional relationship for two referees.
[Doctoral/Master's Students, $30,000/year]
Passionate about biomaterials and bioimaging? Join us! Priority goes to doctoral applicants with biomaterials/enzymology backgrounds or master's research experience. Must apply via the university website (https://gradapply.gsu.edu/apply/), indicating Jin Research Group. For more info, visit our college site, or reach out to Dr. Jin directly. https://chemistry.gsu.edu/graduate/faqs-for-prospective-students/
Interested? So email your package to Dr. Jin's inbox: [email protected]! Please subject your email: PhD - [Your Name] - [Ideal Enrollment Time]. Please attach a merged PDF including 1. your CV; 2. a Cover Letter detailing your research background and topics of interest, and 3. any transcripts or 1st-author publications.
[Intro to Research Group and Supervisor]
Dr. Jin’s team will come soon at Georgia State Fall 2024! He earned his bachelor's in chemistry from Lanzhou University in 2015 and was an exchange student at Texas Tech University. Following that, he pursued a Ph.D. at Florida State University under Professors Hedi Mattoussi and Qing-Xiang Amy Sang, exploring ligand synthesis and quantum dot fluorescence probes. From 2020 to 2024, he collaborated at University of California San Diego with Professor Jesse V. Jokerst on viral protease detection and drug delivery using peptide coacervates. Meanwhile, he received pain model training at Havard Medical School. Dr. Jin has 16 first-author publications in journals like Chem. Soc. Rev., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., ACS Nano, Anal. Chem., and holds 1 patent (co-authored total 70 papers). He is excited to receive the Young Researcher Award from SPIE.
[GSU Overview]
Georgia State University, or GSU, is an R1 comprehensive public university nestled in vibrant downtown Atlanta. Explore opportunities in a city bursting with culture, tech innovation, and Fortune 500 headquarters. GSU ranks 227th nationally, with our chemistry department at 108th.

[Your Expectations and My Expectations]
1. Your Expectations:
(1.1) Clear vision of research projects and project goals.
(1.2) Independence in research projects. You may need to focus on specific funded projects, but you will have research freedom.
(1.3) Provision of support for your salary and research funding. Post-docs receive a pretax annual salary of $48,000, doctoral students receive full scholarships of $30,000 per year, with subsidies for tuition fees, conference fees, and travel expenses. Doctoral students will be invited to become teaching assistants to teach undergraduate laboratory courses or tutorials.
(1.4) Publish papers, abstracts, reviews, etc., and to attend professional conferences.
(1.5) Timely feedback on emails, papers, recommendation letters, funding applications, etc.
(1.6) Effective guidance on oral and written communication.
(1.7) Regular meetings to discuss research progression, solutions, internships, job opportunities, personal development, etc.
(1.8) Personal time and vacation time for travel.
2. My Expectations:
(2.1) Optimistic mindset, responsible, good communication, independent thinking, passion, teamwork.
(2.2) You will be trained to apply for independent funding or awards, including but not limited to CSC, NSF-GRFP, ERC-MSCA, SPIE award, Unilever award, NIH-K99/R00, etc.
(2.3) The team emphasizes interdisciplinary research, with backgrounds including but not limited to nanomaterials, analytical chemistry, ligand synthesis, cell imaging, immune-oncology, animal models, so excellent students with relevant professional and research backgrounds are very welcomed to apply, but we are not a computation group.
(2.4) English: TOEFL ≥ 80 or IELTS ≥ 6.5, GRE is not required. Application deadline for Fall semester is May 1st; for Spring semester is September 1st.
(2.5) Other useful information: https://chemistry.gsu.edu/graduate/faqs-for-prospective-students/
(2.6) You will mentor undergraduate or master's students in your research projects.
(2.7) You try your best to be the master of your own life.
