Postdoctoral Research Associate - Quantitative Microscopy and Live-Cell Chromatin Imaging
Core
Develop and apply advanced microscopy approaches to visualize and quantify chromatin-state dynamics in living neurons during development.
Role type
Postdoctoral Research Associate (Quantitative Microscopy & Live-Cell Chromatin Imaging)
Builds
New experimental frameworks including probes, assays, imaging strategies, perturbation workflows, and quantitative analysis pipelines.
Domain
Developmental Neuroscience / Quantitative Biology / Advanced Microscopy
Deliverable
production ML models | research
Required skills
live-cell imaging, advanced microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, lattice light-sheet microscopy, imaging probe development, quantitative image analysis, Python, MATLAB, R, Fiji/ImageJ, Imaris, segmentation, tracking, registration, time-series analysis, automated image-processing workflows, fluorescent probes, biosensors, HaloTag/SNAP-tag systems, protein engineering, live-cell assay development
Preferred skills
None explicitly stated as preferred (listed as desirable in text, mapped to required for extraction consistency or omitted if strict 'preferred' vs 'required' distinction is needed; here treating 'desirable' as preferred)
Technologies
Python, MATLAB, R, Fiji/ImageJ, Imaris, lattice light-sheet, super-resolution
Responsibilities
Optimize biosensor performance, microscopy acquisition, and quantitative analysis of epigenetic modifications and nuclear organization; define a major project on chromatin-state dynamics and neuronal maturation; collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to generate high-risk experiments and first-author publications.
Seniority
Postdoctoral Fellow (early-career researcher)
