The Yu Laboratory at Indiana University Bloomington is aiming two Postdoctoral Fellows to join its creative research team. The lab will transition to Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) in July 2025, and successful candidates will be expected to resettle at that time. The primary research focus is on utilizing optical imaging and nanotechnology-based tools to analyze immune cell functions, including membrane organization and endocytosis
Prof. Yan Yu’s laboratory presently has two postdoctoral openings.
Job Summary of Postdoctoral Fellow :The primary research project uses optical imaging and nanotechnology-based tools to explore immune cell functions, specifically membrane organization and endocytosis.
