About the Lab:
The Kelleher Lab studies the biophysics of mammalian oocytes and early embryos. We combine quantitative live-cell microscopy with concepts from soft matter and active matter physics to understand how cellular structures, particularly the meiotic spindle and the preimplantation embryo, self-organize and generate force. Our work sits at the interface of physics, cell biology, and reproductive medicine, with applications to IVF and human fertility. The lab is part of Syracuse University's Department of Physics and is affiliated with the Bioinspired Institute. More information: https://cokelleh.expressions.syr.edu/

Working Conditions:
The role involves standard wet-lab work, including handling chemicals and biological materials under appropriate PPE, and (if the candidate takes on rodent work) participation in the university's occupational health program for animal handlers. Research involving human gametes is conducted under approved IRB protocols.
