Postdoctoral Positions in Ricci Lab
- Postdoctoral position for someone interested in membrane biophysics. We are using optical, mechanical, and electrophysiological tools to investigate the role of the lipid bilayer in modulating auditory and vestibular hair cell mechanotransduction. Interests in membrane regulation of synaptic transmission and or outer hair cell electromotility are welcome. This is an opportunity to be part of a burgeoning new field in biophysics that has direct translational implications. I am looking for someone who is a good communicator and has some didactic and research experience in cell physiology. We promote team science and expect all of our members to share in the work of developing technologies to move the field forward.
- Postdoctoral position for someone interested in auditory or vestibular hair cell mechanotransduction. We use high speed imaging coupled with fast mechanical stimulation and electrophysiological tools to investigate sensory hair bundle mechanics at the whole bundle and single stereocilia level. These tools coupled with molecular and genetic manipulations offer great opportunities to explore hair cell mechanotransduction at unprecedented levels. As the first step in the auditory and vestibular systems ability to detect sound and head motion, and a site of pathophysiology, it is critical for us to understand the intricacies of this process. We are looking for motivated individuals who are good communicators and independent thinkers. Experience in cell physiological techniques is preferred.
- Postdoctoral position available for someone interested in studying how hearing loss leads to cognitive decline. We are developing multiple models of hearing loss coupled with behavioral and optical tools to identify the central circuits impacted by hearing loss. This work will allow us to develop a new toolbox from which to assess interventions to prevent the secondary effects of hearing loss as they relate to cognitive decline. We are looking for motivated scientists and independent thinkers who can work in a team environment. Experience in this area is welcome but not required.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by sending a cover letter, 3 references and resume to Alan Cheng at aglcheng@stanford.edu and Anthony Ricci aricci@stanford.edu.
