Research Fellow in Sensors for Membrane Sensors (108236-0125)

For informal queries, please email Professor Satyajit Mayor (Professor) at satyajit.mayor@warwick.ac.uk.

You will join the laboratory of Professor Satyajit Mayor in the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences Directorate at Warwick Medical School and work collaboratively with Robert Ernst (Membrane Cell Biology and Biophysics, University of Saarland) and the Molecular Tools and Imaging (MTI) at the HHMI Janelia Research Institute (HHMI-JRI) to define and develop sensors for local membrane properties ranging from the biophysical to the mechanical.

The Mayor laboratory is one of the leading laboratories, working on understanding basic cellular mechanisms that govern chemical, biophysical and mechanical properties of the cell membrane.

The Ernst laboratory is a leading laboratory investigating biophysical mechanisms that influence membrane protein structure involved in read-outs of membrane properties. MTI is at the forefront of developing molecular tools for imaging.

These laboratories study the crosstalk of proteins and lipids in health and disease, using interdisciplinary approaches at the cross-roads of cell biology, biochemistry, synthetic biology, imaging and biophysics.
