About this position

Shekhar Lab at Emory University is advertising multiple research opportunities in biophysics, cell biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, and physics.

Openings include: project assistants, postdoctoral associates, staff scientist/technician/lab manager roles, graduate student opportunities, and undergraduate research positions.

Project assistants should hold a master's degree in biology, biochemistry, or physics and are looking for 1–2 years of research experience before applying for PhD. Strong candidates may later transition into a PhD position in the lab.

Postdoctoral associates with backgrounds in cell biology, biochemistry, biophysics, or bioengineering are encouraged to apply. Experience in cytoskeleton dynamics and/or single-molecule methods is helpful but not required.

Staff scientist/technician/lab manager applicants should have experience in protein purification and basic molecular biology techniques, with responsibilities including protein purification, reagent ordering, and general lab management.

Graduate students with training in physical or biological sciences are welcome to contact Prof. Shashank Shekhar to discuss opportunities. The lab is affiliated with the Physics and Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology (BCDB) graduate programs, and students already enrolled at Laney Graduate School at Emory may also inquire about rotation projects.

Undergraduate researchers should be freshmen or sophomores in a science major, have strong academic standing, be reliable, and have enough weekly availability to work 12–16 hours across 2–3 days, including at least one full day each week. Summer full-time research may be paid and/or volunteer.

Interested applicants should email Shashank Shekhar at [email protected]. The post does not list a deadline.
