Dear colleagues,

The Intracellular Dynamics Laboratory (IDL) at the Ohio State University is looking for candidates to fill multiple postdoctoral researcher positions.

Researchers at IDL use advanced microscopy and data analytics to study membrane trafficking pathways within cells in culture and tissues of developing organisms. The open positions are for:

1.      Characterization of the mechanical response of endocytic complexes in live cells using force spectroscopy and high resolution fluorescence microscopy simultaneously. Consecutive studies will aim towards monitoring spatiotemporal tension gradients in migrating cells and at various stages of the cell cycle.
2.      Development of a modular structured illumination microscopy (SIM) system that can operate at total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), grazing incidence (GI), 2D and 3D modes. Upon completion, the imaging system will primarily be used to study dynamics of endocytic and cell adhesion complexes during in vitro and in situ cell migration.

The candidates are expected to have broad experience in optical microscopy, image processing and computational analysis. Candidates should send their curriculum vitae, 3 reference letters and a cover letter indicating their scientific expertise to [hidden email]<mailto:[hidden email]>.
