Postdoctoral Position Opening

The Biofluids and Cellular Mechanics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at the University of California, Davis is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the impact of fluid mechanical forces on flow-sensitive ion channels in vascular endothelial cells. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves the use of different types of flow systems to probe the sensitivity of ion channels to different components of complex flow signals. The role of flow-sensitive ion channels in regulating downstream flow signaling will also be studied. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, physiology, or a related discipline. Experience with endothelial cell culture and with whole-cell patch clamp recordings is especially desired. Interested candidates should contact
