The Laboratory for Tissue Engineering and Morphogenesis ( http://www.rpi.edu/~wanq ) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the research areas of Cellular Biophysics and Engineering. This position is open immediately until filled.
We seek highly motivated individuals who enjoy working in a team while concomitantly desiring to pursue their own ideas in a very supportive environment. Our lab combines micro-/nano- technology, molecular and cellular biology, cell biomechanics, and imaging techniques to better understand the biophysics of tissue morphogenesis in development. Specifically, this position is focused on understanding a newly discovered property of cells, cell chirality (also known as cellular left-right asymmetry) and exploring its application in developmental biology and drug screening.
Candidates must possess an earned Ph.D. or a foreign degree equivalent in a relevant area at the time of appointment. Research training in cellular biophysics and developmental biology is highly desired.
We offer an excellent benefits package including health, dental, life insurance, retirement, tuition, etc. Please visit our Human Resources website at: http://hr.rpi.edu.
