Please forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in these positions. Thank you very much!
We are looking for two self-motivated, creative, and hard-working PhD students (or postdoctoral fellows) to study (1) cell mechanics during cancer invasion; and (2) brain dynamics during cognitive thinking, starting January or August 2024. These two projects will draw ideas and technologies from multiple fields including sold/fluid mechanics, cancer biology, neuroscience, optical imaging, and machine learning. The successful applicants will have a critical role in transforming the landscape of biomechanics and biophysics by developing new technologies to reveal the inner workings of living systems. Full financial supports will be provided.
If interested, please email cover letter, CV and names of references to Dr. Xin Tang (xin.tang [at] ufl.edu). Please see the full job posting at:
