About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity in structural biology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), USA, in the laboratory of Dr. Jiaoyang Jiang.

The project focuses on cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and complementary integrative structural approaches to study protein complexes involved in glycosylation-related biology and disease. The position also offers opportunities to contribute to structure-based and AI-assisted drug discovery, as well as translational research involving chemical probes and mechanistic biology.

The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative environment with structural biologists, chemical biologists, cell biologists, and other interdisciplinary researchers. The postdoc will also have access to the on-campus Cryo-EM Research Center and its advanced instrumentation, technical support, and computational resources.

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, or a related field; strong experience in protein expression and purification; experience with at least one structural biology technique; at least one first-author paper; and the ability to work independently in a collaborative setting. Preference is given to applicants with no more than one year of prior postdoctoral experience.

Funding: fully funded postdoctoral position.

Application: send a CV, cover letter, and 3 references to [email protected]. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Deadline listed on the post is 28 Oct 2026.
