Are you a quantitative biologist or biophysicist looking for a postdoctoral position that combines rigorous, high-impact research with real teaching and mentoring experience? This NSF-funded position in our team might be exactly what you are looking for! You will investigate how a simple animal coordinates cellular signaling and mechanical forces to drive dramatic, whole-body tissue deformations - using Hydra as a powerful experimental system that bridges cell biology, biophysics, and organismal behavior. Hydra is easy to maintain in the laboratory and uniquely suited for in vivo biomechanics studies due to its simple anatomy, optical transparency, and amenability to chemical, physical, and genetic perturbations. The interdisciplinary nature of the project leaves ample room for you to bring your own ideas and approaches to the table. Applicants with experience in developing new experimental and/or computational approaches and an interest in mathematical modeling of biological systems are especially encouraged to apply.
The postdoctoral position offers significant research autonomy, opportunities to mentor undergraduate researchers, and access to a vibrant scientific community at Swarthmore College and at the University of Pennsylvania (only a 20 min drive away). While the position is well suited for candidates considering faculty positions at primarily undergraduate institutions, we welcome applicants at any stage of thinking about their career path. What matters most is curiosity, creativity, and a genuine enthusiasm for tackling open questions at the interface.
