Here at Carolina, our highly skilled postdocs play a vital role in our research enterprise and towards our overall commitment to research excellence. Across many disciplines, postdocs contribute to the intellectual vitality of the University. They provide innovative ideas and perspectives, foster a stimulating research environment and advance knowledge within their fields. Postdocs are crucial members of our scientific research workforce, contributors to our research outputs and an important reason why Carolina is one of the leading public research institutions in the country. UNC-Chapel Hill offers postdocs comprehensive medical and vision coverage, paid leave, and benefits and services that support professional development and a healthy work/life balance. Chapel Hill regularly ranks as one of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, a reputation guided by the diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.

Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit:

The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology is a broad and interdisciplinary basic science department in the School of Medicine at UNC-CH. As a top-ranked, nationally recognized leader in basic science research, our faculty and staff are engaged in innovative and cutting-edge research in the areas of neuroscience, cardiovascular biology, cellular cytoskeleton, cell motility and imaging. The Department houses one PhD program: the Cell Biology and Physiology Curriculum in which there are currently enrolled 48 PhD candidates. The Department has approximately 55 faculty engaged in basic science research, education, and national service. Many faculty and their laboratories provide training for undergraduate and postgraduate trainees in the biomedical sciences. The department also has 2 Core Facilities to expedite the mission of our researchers.

Position Summary:

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to develop and apply innovative microscopy methods to visualize and quantify organelle morphology, dynamics, and interactions. Microscopy modalities will include multispectral, superresolution, and label-free microscopy. Analyses will be performed using custom Python-based image analysis pipelines.

Our lab studies how lipids move within cells and between cells, for example from astrocytes to neurons. We use cutting-edge microscopy and biochemical techniques including superresolution microscopy, multispectral imaging, and spatial proteomics. We use these approaches to understand how defects in lipid trafficking contribute to metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements:

Recent PhD graduate in cell biology or neuroscience

Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience:

Demonstrated record of productivity in the form of preprints and/or peer-reviewed publications

Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience:

Experience with cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, light microscopy and image analysis are preferred. Experience with coding in Python and R is preferred.
