Assistant/Associate Scientist and Senior Scientist - Cellular Dynamics Imaging
The Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, seeks outstanding, highly innovative candidates at senior- and junior-faculty levels to advance the MBL's traditional strength in cell physiology, embryology, neurobiology, and microscopy of living cells.
Successful candidates are expected to apply novel optical methods to probe physiological mechanisms of fundamental importance in cell biology. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: mechanisms of cell function, development or tissue formation, regeneration, neuroimaging, protist and metazoan cell biology, biophysical and computational approaches, and new imaging technology.
Applicants must have a Doctorate in Biology or a related field, a strong record of scientific publication, and the potential to attract extramural funding. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to establish productive research programs in a highly collaborative environment and may choose to join the faculty of the Brown University/MBL graduate program. The senior-level scientist, who will succeed Shinya Inoué, is expected to lead the MBL's program in Cellular Dynamics, which is projected to grow to approximately seven investigators in newly renovated facilities.
Review of applications will begin on April 30, 2008. Applicants should submit CV, statement of research interest, and list of four references electronically (PDF or Word files) to:
- Gary Borisy, Chair, Cellular Dynamics Imaging Search Committee
- Kip Sluder, Vice Chair, Cellular Dynamics Imaging Search Committee
