Human RPE1 cell expressing Lifeact-GFP migrating through a constriction

Postdoc Position

Project: Cytoskeleton dynamics during confined cell migration

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the coordination between actin and microtubules during cell migration through confined spaces. The project combines live-cell imaging, microfluidic confinement assays, and quantitative biophysical approaches to understand how cells reorganise their cytoskeletal architecture to navigate narrow environments.

This is a collaborative position based at the Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong and Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (in collaboration with Dr. Chen Nanpeng).

Requirements

  • PhD in cell biology, biophysics, bioengineering, or a related field
  • Research experience in cell biology, microfluidics, or biophysics
  • Experience with live-cell imaging and/or quantitative image analysis is a plus

Interested candidates are encouraged to send a CV and a brief cover letter to [email protected].
