The lab brings together chemists, biologists, biophysicists, and machine-learning researchers. The best people we've worked with were excited to learn the other half of the stack. Applicants from backgrounds underrepresented in science are especially encouraged to reach out.
The candidate is expected to independently design, conduct, and analyze mammalian cell culture and quantitative fluorescence microscopy experiments, including live-cell and high-content imaging. For imaging data analysis, experience with scientific programming is required, and machine learning/computer vision expertise is highly desirable.
The candidate is required to have experience with standard molecular biology and biochemical techniques, including cloning, PCR, nucleic acid purification, in vitro transcription, gel electrophoresis, and related assays. They will also support cell-based microscopy experiments; prior experience with mammalian cell culture is desirable but not required. Depending on experience and interest, opportunities will be available to learn additional techniques in quantitative microscopy, RNA biology, and chemical biology.
We're hiring postdocs with backgrounds in nucleic acid & protein biochemistry, condensate biophysics, or quantitative cell and disease biology. The strongest applications combine deep technical strength in one area with genuine curiosity about the others.
Please include
We accept graduate students through WashU's DBBS program and others. Prospective students should apply directly to one of these programs.
Once enrolled, reach out to Anita for a rotation.
Please include
Non-WashU undergraduates are encouraged to apply to the SURGE program.
WashU undergraduates interested in committing at least two semesters (or a full summer + academic year) should e-mail Anita. Prior wet-lab or coding experience is helpful but not required — we look for curiosity, reliability, and openness to feedback.
