Welcome to the Patteson Lab!
Our research interests lie at the interface of biophysics and soft active materials. Our aim is to identify how cells navigate and respond to the physical features of their environment (mechanical properties, presence of boundaries, and cell-cell contacts) to achieve important biological functions, such as cancer metastasis, wound healing, and biofilm formation. We employ microfluidic technologies, single-molecule experiments, knock-out cell models, and concepts from non-equilibrium statistical physics to investigate the dynamics of swimming bacteria and crawling animal cells.
The Patteson Lab in the Physics Department at Syracuse University is seeking a Research Assistant Professor (RAP) to join their group. The RAP will lead and engage in research activities in the field of cell motility and cell mechanics. The RAP will write their own manuscripts, prepare materials for new grant applications, and manage laboratory equipment. Two year minimum of postdoctoral training or equivalent in required.
