Multidisciplinary Actin Techniques for Scientific Understanding
Lab openings
We’re hiring!
Researchers with backgrounds under-represented in the sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral fellow:
Interdisciplinary, quantitative, computational, and/or fluorescence microscopy experience is encouraged (but not required).
Express your interest in the following form and apply here
Staff scientist:
The researcher will work closely with other lab members, pilot new techniques, and carry out original research addressing questions about the biophysical role of the actin cytoskeleton in endocytosis.
Techniques (which can be learned in the lab) will include biophysical modeling, fluorescence microscopy and stem cell culture.
Position closing soon! Express your interest in the following form and by sending Matt an email
PhD student:
The lab is accepting PhD students for the upcoming year.
Students will carry out interdisciplinary research on the mechanical relationship between the actin cytoskeleton and cellular membrane trafficking, and learn a combination of techniques ranging from fluorescence microscopy, stem cell culture, and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, computational image analysis, and modeling.
The lab will be accepting new undergraduate students starting Winter 2024.
We are currently especially seeking undergraduate students with experience and/or interest in computational and/or mechanical techniques. No biology background or experience is needed.
