Multiple Positions Open
Posted by Joshua Bembenek, on 10 March 2022
Location: Detroit, MI
Closing Date: 9 March 2023
Several research positions (technician, graduate student, postdoc) are available in the Bembenek Lab. Our research group is funded by an NIH R01 grant from NIGMS and new startup funding. We study cell division mechanisms using C. elegans as a model organism. Our main R01 funded project seeks to characterize novel functions of separase during cytokinesis. We use multiple advanced live cell imaging techniques, including lattice light sheet and an in house spinning disk. We also use genetics, CRISPR, and biochemistry to explore how mechanisms of cell division operate in a developmental context. We recently moved to the C.S. Mott Center at Wayne State University and are affiliated with an oocyte biology research group. This group has expertise and interest in mammalian systems including human, which will be a great opportunity to translate our work into mammalian systems in potential future collaborations. Come join our team!
Interested candidates can send a letter of interest, CV and references to Dr. Joshua Bembenek @ joshua.bembenek@wayne.edu.
