Funded postdoc position: Mechano-dynamics of zebrafish development - Stanford

The Riedel-Kruse lab in close collaboration with the Dunn lab (Stanford, Departments of Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering) are looking for an enthusiastic, curious, and driven postdoc to investigate the mechanobiology of early zebrafish development. The project will utilize our recently developed in-vivo tension sensors to study the mechanical aspects during early zebrafish development, and in particular the connection between mechanical and chemical signaling to coordinate tissue morphogenesis and patterning. The ideal candidate has a Ph.D. and significant experience in early zebrafish development, relevant molecular biology, and imaging. Experience in one or more of the following is a plus (but not essential): quantitative imaging, FRET, FLIM, instrumentation, biophysics, programming (Matlab). This position is a unique opportunity to work in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment. Start date is flexible and as soon as the ideal candidate is identified.
