Description

The Shubeita laboratory in the program of Physics, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a post-doctoral scientist to work on unravelling principles that drive cellular organization.

The successful applicant will lead research projects to study the interplay between active cytoskeletal transport, cytoskeletal organization, and the physical driving forces of macromolecular crowding. Research will take place within a multidisciplinary group of postdoctoral and predoctoral researchers trained in physics, biology, and chemistry with whom the successful candidate will collaborate closely.

Applicants must have a PhD in physics or biological physics. Excellent analytical skills are required and prior experience in soft matter or biological physics research is preferable. Prior experience in experimental techniques used in the lab such as optical tweezers and quantitative imaging is advantageous but not required.

Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled.

To be considered, applications should be submitted through the following application portal where additional information is also available: https://apply.interfolio.com/189429. All applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, transcript of degree / copy of highest degree, and at least two letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.
