Expertise Needed at Auburn University
• Specialties with room to grow• Imaging
• Nanoparticle-mediated gene regulation & imaging• Super-resolution fluoresecence microscopy• Two-photon imaging and probe synthesis• MRI imaging probes and computational analysis
• Mass Spectrometry• Proteomics, metabolomics
• General Note on Hiring• We should improve sharing of faculty interview
schedules. How can this be done?
