NIH funded postdoctoral position is available in Ben-Yakar Group at the University of Texas at Austin. In this project, we aim at discovering new genes and biomolecules involved in nerve regeneration and degenaration in C. elegans using novel femtosecond laser nanoaxotomy (Nature 432, 882: 2004) and microfluidics technologies.
The ideal candidate would be highly motivated, interdisciplinary, and seeking to learn how to apply laser nanosurgery. Expertise in C. elegans biology is required and experience in creating transgenic animals is desirable. Interested candidates should send their CV and a brief statement describing their expertise and interests to Prof. Ben-Yakar at ben-yakar@mail.utexas.edu.
