Postdoctoral Researcher - Single-Molecule Biophysics / Cellular Mechanics
A postdoctoral position is available for a multidisciplinary effort integrating key concepts from engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, materials science, and computer science to tackle fundamental questions of how forces are generated in cells.
Potential projects include characterizing the nanomechanical properties of mitotic motor proteins, determining the viscoelastic response of complex cytoskeletal networks, and exploring the mechanisms that drive self-assembly and force generation during cell division. A variety of experimental techniques are employed, including high-resolution optical trapping, single-molecule fluorescence, advanced microscopy, and microrheometry.
The University of California, Santa Barbara provides an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary biomedical and bioengineering research with access to core facilities for microscopy/microanalysis, spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, genomics, proteomics, polymer characterization, nanofabrication, mechanical testing, and high-performance computing. On-campus interdisciplinary centers including the California Nanosystems Institute (CNSI), Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering, Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies, Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), Neuroscience Research Institute, and Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) provide myriad opportunities for collaboration.

Health Psychology, University of California-San Francisco
Location: San Francisco, CA, United States
This 2-year NIMH-funded postdoctoral program trains researchers to link basic psychological theories and research to preventing and ameliorating disease. There are two areas, and cross-cutting both areas is a consideration of disparities in mental and physical illness and the mechanisms by which they occur.
The two areas are:
- Health-risking behavior: Fellows in this area focus on developing and applying theories of risk perception, social learning, cognitive development, and risk-taking to understand and modify health-risk behaviors, especially those that contribute to exposure to the HIV virus, as well as those contributing to addictive behaviors. There is an emphasis on developmental processes and on adolescence as a critical period.
- Stress, depression, psychobiology and disease: Fellows in this area focus on theories of the meaning and appraisal of stress, cognitive and affective responses that result from these appraisals, and biological concomitants of these responses that result in disease. We emphasize common pathways to multiple disease outcomes, especially those spanning mental and physical illness.
