Morphogenesis & Actin Dynamics:  The Soto lab at Rutgers - RWJMS seeks a postdoctoral researcher for studies of the mechanisms of actin-dependent cell polarization, mostly in C. elegans.  This NIH-funded position is ideal for motivated individuals with a passion for cell biology and developmental genetics.  We use genetic, molecular techniques and live imaging to investigate how the cytoskeleton is polarized during key events in development, and how epithelial polarity is maintained in adults. Projects include adapting CRISPR and degron technology to investigate how tissue specific signals and actin-dependent events power morphogenetic movements, and testing human mutations that alter the cytoskeleton in C. elegans to uncover the underlying disease mec
