Postdoctoral Position in Cell Biophysics Experiment

Job description

Description The Si lab at Carnegie Mellon University is looking for postdoctoral candidates. Our lab's drive is to discover "biological laws" that can help us understand living systems in a quantitatively precise way. Toward this goal, we develop/adapt tools, do rigorous measurements, and define new concepts. We are currently searching for simple yet fundamental rules connecting the complicated form of bacterial cells and their fitness in different environments. Please check out the lab website for more descriptions of our research: https://sifangwei.github.io/ Qualifications: We are mainly looking for candidates who aim for an academic career. We will walk you through the process of transitioning from a postdoc to an independent researcher. Our postdocs have been successful in their career development, such as earning the NSF postdoc fellowship. We are particularly interested in candidates who have done cell experiments and have PhD training in broadly defined bio-related areas (e.g., biophysics, microbiology, bioengineering, etc.). Additional experience in molecular biology or programming-based image analysis will be much welcome. The project(s) related to this position will be q...
