Positions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have positions available for Post-docs (NOW!) and graduate students interested in applying theory, modeling, and computation (including ML\/AI) to understanding dynamical systems in cell biology, control and design of self-assembly for living systems, and protein-driven membrane remodeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-doc applicants must have programming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
