Texas A&M University Health Science Center to study molecular dynamics
with a focus on mechanotransduction at cell-cell and cell-matrix
adhesions, and their connection with the cytoskeleton in aging and
thoracic aneurysm. These studies will involve the use of atomic force
microscope (AFM) combined with total internal reflection fluorescence
(TIRF) and spinning-disk confocal microscopy. The successful candidate
should have experience/training in optical imaging methods, and prior
experience with cell cultures, transfections, cell staining and
molecular biology. Prior experience with AFM is a plus. The laboratory
is housed in the new Medical Research and Education Building II on
College Station/Bryan campus. Salary and fringe benefits will be
commensurate with qualifications. *Interested applicants please upload
