Postdoc position in lightsheet imaging

The Meyer lab (meyerlab.yale.edu) is part of the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and the Systems Biology Institute at Yale University. We seek to understand the molecular logic of cellular decision making in the context of embryonic development. We study mechanisms of gene regulation with a particular focus on the role of chromatin mechanics/biophysics in sensing, processing, and memorizing information. To this end, we synthetically control signaling nodes (optogenetics, synthetic biology tools) and combine this approach with imaging-based readouts to record information flow at molecular resolution (single molecule imaging).
We are seeking a passionate, motivated, and open-minded postdoctoral researcher to join our team and help build a single-objective oblique plane light sheet microscope for single-molecule imaging. This project, supervised in collaboration with experts in the light sheet community, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge imaging technology and explore its applications to understand principles of gene regulation.
Applicants must have a PhD and prior experience in microscopy/optics, physics, or related fields. To apply, please submit a cover letter outlining your motivation and include contact information for three references to kirstin.meyer@yale.edu.
