Positions
The Veatch lab is looking to hire a postdoc to advance one or several ongoing experimental research thrusts. These include biophysical investigations of 1) the thermodynamics and function of condensate “prewetting” at membranes [1]; 2) the roles of cortical actin in dictating plasma membrane structure and function; 3) the allosteric regulation of ion channels via membrane domains [2]; 4) cholesterol chemical activity and its connections to the membrane phase transition in models and cells [3]. Attractive candidates will have experience in phase separation, membrane physical chemistry, single molecule imaging, and/or electrophysiology.
Postdoctoral fellows in the Veatch lab have access to cutting-edge super-resolution imaging platforms, high performance computing, electrophysiology, molecular and cell biology methods, experimental support from experienced technicians, and a collaborative research environment. The University of Michigan is a large research institution with numerous core facilities and opportunities for collaboration and professional development.
