Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Cellular Biophysics

The Paluch lab studies cellular morphogenesis using cell and molecular biology, quantitative imaging, and biophysical approaches. Current projects include investigating the mechanical properties of the cellular actin cortex and the biomechanics of cell division. The successful candidate will work on understanding how cell surface mechanics regulates collective cell behaviours and tissue mechanics in mouse embryonic stem cell-derived gastruloids. Applicants should hold a PhD in Biophysics or a related field and have experience with stem cell cultures, imaging, and biophysical characterisation. The position is fixed-term for 2 years.
