Job Information
University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill Post-Doc Research Associate in NC-Chapel-Hill, United States
Vacancy ID: PDS004039
Position Summary/Description:
Postdoctoral fellows with experience in single molecule imaging, to explore new methods for visualizing conformational changes of individual molecules within living cells (Cell, 184(22): 5670-5685, 2021. PMC8556369). We will study the nanometer scale structural dynamics of integrin adhesion complexes, podosomes, and potentially other dynamic organelles. The role of these structures in phagocytosis, mechanotransduction, and metastasis controlled by collagen alignment will be explored. This project is a close collaboration with Drs. Tim Elston ( UNC ) and Guadenz Danuser ( UTSW ), experts in quantitative image analysis and modeling of signaling networks.
Education and Experience:
Experience with the development of microscopes for single particle tracking or lattice light sheet imaging in conjunction with atomic force microscope.
