About this position
2 postdoctoral positions are available in structural cell biology at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, USA.
The laboratory studies how cellular architecture and molecular organization control biological function, with a strong focus on neuron/cancer-related structural biology. Research areas include in situ cryo-ET/cryo-EM, single-particle cryo-EM, cell biology, biochemistry, and computational image analysis. Specific topics mentioned are neuronal injury, axon repair and regeneration, cytoskeletal and membrane remodeling, cell signaling, membrane organization, disease-associated cellular states, subtomogram analysis, and connecting cellular phenotypes to molecular mechanisms.
Applicants are encouraged from backgrounds in cryo-EM, cryo-ET, structural biology, cell biology, biophysics, neuroscience, membrane biology, cytoskeleton, or biochemistry. Candidates with strong biological or structural training who want to learn in situ structural workflows are also welcome.
The lab offers a collaborative environment with access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM/cryo-ET instrumentation and computational resources. Funding is a competitive NIH postdoctoral stipend following NIH guidelines.
To apply, interested candidates should send a CV and contact information for three references. The deadline is 30 Sep 2026. More information is available on the lab website.
