Positions

We have positions available for post-docs and graduate students interested in applying theory and modeling to understanding dynamical systems in cell biology. We are especially focused on endocytosis and viral infection, by developing models of the dynamics and control of self-assembly and its coupling to the cell membrane.

Post-doc applicants must have programming experience.
