Postdoctoral position in BioMEMS

A postdoctoral research position is available for various in-vitro cell culture studies. Our laboratory uses microfabrication technology to address neurobiology questions that require the interrogation of large numbers of cells simultaneously. In particular, we are interested in controlling the microfluidic environment of cultured cells on a cellular and sub-cellular scale so that we can entice them to grow in a particular direction and/or to develop localized synaptic machinery. Other areas of study involve neutrophils and fibroblasts for high-throughput screening assays with the goal of applying the results to neuronal cells.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree with expertise and interests in one or more of the following: neurobiology, molecular biology techniques, neuron culture, electrophysiology, and/or microfabrication. Send curriculum vitae, names and email addresses of three references, and a summary of research experience and interests to:
