About this position
Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity – Roll-Mecak Lab, NIH
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Roll-Mecak lab at the National Institutes of Health (Unit of Cell Biology and Biophysics, United States). The project focuses on the structure and mechanism of cytoskeletal regulators, with research spanning biochemistry, structural biology, cryo-EM, and cryo-electron tomography.
The work uses a powerful combination of in vitro reconstitution, high-resolution cryo-EM, and cryo-electron tomography in iPSC-derived human neurons to understand how the cytoskeleton is built, regulated, and remodeled. The lab highlights recent breakthroughs in visualizing microtubules and their regulators in vitro and in situ.
Applicants should be PhD graduates with a strong record of accomplishments and expertise in either biochemistry or structural biology. The NIH environment offers access to a strong neuroscience and structural biology community, advanced microscopy resources, and diverse training opportunities.
The position is available immediately and the application deadline is 01 Sep 2026. To apply, send a CV, a one-page research experience summary, and three references to [email protected], and include “Tubulin Code cryo-EM” in the email subject.
Location: Bethesda, United States.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
