The Liao Laboratory is currently seeking research scientists at various levels, from Postdoctoral Researchers to Associate Research Scientists. The lab uses single-molecule imaging, genetic manipulation, whole-cell super-resolution microscopy, machine-learning, and physical modeling to understand how neuron structures and functions emerge from the elementary molecular processes, under both normal development and pathological stresses.
We offer a dynamic and stimulating work environment for conducting cutting-edge research and for facilitating your career development. Candidates will be mentored to advance their scientific research, science communication, grantsmanship, and management skills. They will be embedded in a strong and vibrant biophysics community at Northeastern, benefiting from an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment, along with the supportive atmosphere of a new lab.
A competitive salary will be offered, commensurate with experience. The position is fully funded for at least three years. Start date is flexible. Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. Questions should be addressed to m.liao@northeastern.edu.
Qualifications and requirements
Ph.D. in Biophysics/Physics or related discipline
Highly motivated, able to work independently, and in a team environment
