Ramanathan Lab

We welcome trainees from developmental, molecular, and cellular biology, as well as physics, engineering, and quantitative disciplines, who are excited by questions in development, synthetic embryology, and control of biological systems. We are particularly interested in candidates who want to take intellectual ownership of their projects, develop new experimental or computational approaches, and work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Graduate students are encouraged to contact Sharad Ramanathan or current lab members to discuss potential projects and fit. Postdoctoral candidates should email Sharad Ramanathan with a CV and a brief research statement describing their interests and how the lab’s scientific direction will help their research ambitions. Contact information for three references should be included; letters will be requested at a later stage. Because of a high volume of applicants, we can only respond to those inquiries that include as part of the initial email, a 1-2 page research statement that lays out potential research directions you want to pursue with us.
