Job description
The Department of Cell and Developmental Biology is a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment for cutting-edge research over a scale that spans seven powers of ten, from single molecules to whole organisms. The difference between a test tube and a cell is spatio-temporal organization, and we study molecular, cellular and tissue organization in many of the laboratories within our department, seeking insights into fundamental biological questions and human disease. We are a highly interactive and collaborative community, supported by outstanding core facilities and a top-ranked developmental biology program. Recent faculty recruits are advancing areas such as super-resolution imaging of cell migration, single-molecule analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics, systems biology of intestinal epithelia, stem cell biology, and spatially resolved approaches to understanding tissue architecture and disease. This environment provides an ideal setting for interdisciplinary research at the interface of imaging, computation, and cancer biology. Position Summary: This is a Term position. The Research Technician will be a member of the Lau Lab in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vander...
