We currently have the following positions available:

Post-doctoral positions are available for projects on the biophysical controls of embryonic development and cancer. We also welcome applications from people who are in the finishing stages of their Ph.D. but may not be ready to move yet (plans can also be made for over a year in the future as well, since it is often the case that the most competitive candidates make arrangements well in advance). We are looking for talented, versatile, highly motivated biologists with experience in molecular techniques and a background in developmental biology, electrophysiology, neurobiology, bioengineering, and related disciplines. Post-docs in our lab utilize the frog, chick, planarian, and zebrafish systems to understand the roles of endogenous ion currents in patterning during embryonic morphogenesis and regeneration. We also have projects on memory and learning, neuroplasticity, and the dynamics of memory storage during brain regeneration. Our work uses a convergence of molecular embryology, cell biology, biophysics, physiology, and mathematical modeling, and this is a great opportunity for someone to develop truly frontier science. Many exciting projects are available. If you are interested, please email me. Candidates will be asked to send a CV, letters of reference, and the outline of a research project proposal.

We are also considering Ph.D. students; if you're interested, please apply through the Tufts Biology department's program here and indicate your interest in our lab on your application.
