We are looking for scientists interested in working in a research programs focused on the modulation of the sense of smell in the olfactory bulb through primary cilia signaling. The lab employs electrophysiology, functional imaging, immunofluorescence, and behavioral techniques to address our goals. Postdocs will also be encouraged to develop independent projects that fit the general mission of the lab, with the ultimate goal of independence. | |||
| Postdoctoral Associate | 19020000 – EG-MECHANICAL / AEROSPACE ENG | Main Campus (Gainesville, FL) | Open until filled |
| The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering invites applications for a 12-month, full-time Postdoctoral Associate. The Postdoctoral Associate will work in our Integrative Mechanobiology Laboratory (IML) and engage in setting up the patch clamp rig and training graduate students on electrophysiology experimental skills. A successful candidate will work independently and also collaborate with other members to participate in the cutting-edge technology-and-discovery-driven research projects in a highly dynamic and exciting environment. The ideal candidate would have at least 1-2 years of experience in bench (wet lab) experiments focusing on electrophysiology. Skills in LabVIEW programming and development of the optical microscope are a strong plus, but not required. This position offers a rich opportunity to engage research at the frontier of biotech fields, aiming for the next stage of the candidate’s career, either in academic or industry. Our Integrative Mechanobiology Laboratory (IML) at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering focuses on inventing new physical tools to probe the biological function and structures. We use our tools to explore biological questions and make new measurements in the unexplored regimes of time and space. Our research projects are interdisciplinary by nature, at the interface of mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. Currently, we tackle important problems in human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular malfunction, tissue regeneration, and brain disorders. We aim to train the next generation of scientists and apply our discoveries to developing innovative technologies and medicines to improve human health. | |||
