About this position

The Lu Lab in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar to study how cells remodel internal structures to drive tissue growth, function, and regeneration.

The research focuses on cell-cell fusion, using skeletal muscle as a primary model. Current projects investigate how the actin cytoskeleton, cellular metabolism, and organelles interact in space and time to regulate cell-cell fusion during muscle development and regeneration. The lab uses high-resolution live-cell imaging, advanced microscopy, cell biology, and molecular biology approaches.

Applicants must hold a PhD in cell biology, molecular biology, or a related field and should have a strong publication record, including first-author publications, a demonstrated passion for research, strong biology interests, English communication and writing skills, and excellent organizational and time-management abilities. Experience with mammalian cell culture, genetic manipulation, confocal microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, or electron microscopy is desirable.

The position offers a salary of $63,480 to commensurate, along with competitive benefits and postdoctoral training support. Applications require a curriculum vitae, letters of interest, and contact information for three references. The position is advertised until filled and is based in Iowa City, United States.
