Research Area
The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms involved in the differentiation of hair cells, supporting cells, and their innervating neurons, particularly emphasizing cytoskeletal polarization and the assembly of the stereociliary bundle critical for mechanosensation.
Location
Bar Harbor, Maine, situated near the Gulf of Maine and Acadia National Park, providing a vibrant environment for both research and outdoor activities.
Eligibility/Qualification
- Recently awarded Ph.D. in developmental cell biology, neuroscience, or a related field.
- Experience with fine dissection techniques is essential.
- Expertise in inner ear biology and mouse genetics is preferred.
- Experience in quantitative live imaging and inner ear surgery is highly regarded.
Job Description
The role requires the ability to plan, execute, and analyze independent research projects, along with strong verbal and written communication skills. The candidate should be self-motivated and have a clear career orientation. The research will involve investigating the protein complexes that organize and maintain the stereociliary structures within the auditory system.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit:
- A one-page cover letter detailing research accomplishments and motivation for the position.
- A current CV.
- Names and contact information of three references.
Note: Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
