Full-time postdoctoral positions are available in the Altschuler and Wu laboratories.
The Altschuler and Wu labs are focused on understanding how biological networks give rise to precise spatial-temporal behaviors within individual cells, and how cellular heterogeneity affects the physiology and pathology of cellular populations. Recent work has investigated these questions in several biological processes, including cell polarization, cellular differentiation, and cancer:
On heterogeneity in the physiological states and pharmacological responses of differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, Journal of Cell Biology 2009.
On an approach for extensibly profiling the molecular states of cellular subpopulations, Nature Methods 2009.
Characterizing heterogeneous cellular responses to perturbations, PNAS 2008.
On the spontaneous emergence of cell polarity, Nature 2008.
Endocytosis optimizes the dynamic localization of membrane proteins that regulate cortical polarity, Cell 2007.
Multi-dimensional drug profiling by automated microscopy, Science 2004.
Our labs are highly multi-disciplinary and collaborative. Researchers with diverse backgrounds will have the opportunity to work side-by-side within our lab and benefit from the collaborative research community at UT Southwestern.

Applicants should have a strong interest in quantitative biology, with a Ph.D. in the biological, engineering, mathematical, or physical sciences. Applicants should submit a brief one-page description of research interests, a resume, and contact information for three references to Dr. Altschuler or Dr. Wu via e-mail (Steven.Altschuler UTSouthwestern.edu or Lani.WuUTSouthwestern.edu).
UT Southwestern is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer.
