Job Summary

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to delve into the mechanobiological regulation of endothelial cell dynamics within a leading research institution. The successful candidate will investigate how endothelial cells respond to mechanical stimuli by modulating their cytoskeleton, adhesion dynamics, and gene expression. Day-to-day activities will involve utilizing advanced techniques such as microfluidic systems, quantitative live-cell imaging, molecular biology, and immunocytochemistry to dissect complex cellular and signaling networks. This role is ideal for a motivated individual with a background in cell biology or related life sciences, offering professional development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in vascular function and barrier integrity.
