The Das Lab within the Biology department is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to investigate the fundamentals ofcell polarization.

The Das Lab is interested in understanding cell-cycle-dependent regulation of cell polarity using the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomycespombe as a model system. Cell shape establishment and maintenance are critical to cell function and survival. The research indicates that in fissionyeast, the pattern of cell growth and polarity responds to different cell-cyclestages and environmental conditions.

This project will investigate how cellsrespond to different cell-cycle stages or environments to establish theirpattern of growth. More details about our research and recent publications are available at website . For this research, we will useyeast genetics, live-cell imaging, protein dynamics, in vitro reconstitution, quantitativemicroscopy, and mathematical modeling approaches.

Our lab is well equipped witha dedicated deconvolution microscope and a TIRF microscope. In addition, the Imagingcore at Boston College has several state-of-the-art microscopes, such as a Leicaspinning disc confocal microscope, Zeiss Airy Scan, SIM, and the SoRa confocalmicroscopes with super-resolution capabilities for live-cell imaging. Othercore facilities include an atomic force microscope, bioinformatics server, and nanofabrication,mass spectrometry, flowcytometry, NMR and X-ray crystallography facility.

• The following are examples of typical duties, but other duties may also be assigned.
• Development of the research project, including planning and designing experiments, data analysis.
• Presentation of project results at meetings and seminars.
• Publication of high-quality research articles.
• May be responsible for training staff, graduate assistants, or student employees.

• A PhD degree in Bioscience or a related field is required.
• Candidates with experience in protein and/or membrane biochemistry and biophysics are especially encouraged to apply.
• Familiarity with live-cell microscopy or yeast cell biology is helpful but not essential.
• Please attach the following electronic documents to the application:
  Cover letter, resume, and the names, email addresses, and telephone numbers of at least three references.
