About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opening at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States, in the Roy J. Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology.

The position focuses on membrane protein structural biology, especially the structural and functional characterization of multidrug transporters using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), biochemical assays, and biophysical approaches. The successful candidate will work on recombinant protein expression and purification, in vitro analyses, single-particle cryo-EM structure determination, data interpretation, manuscript preparation, and collaborative lab support.

Required qualification: PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, or a related field by the start date. Preferred experience includes mammalian and insect cell expression systems, transient transfection, baculovirus generation in Sf9 cells, membrane protein purification, cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography, model building/refinement, and biochemical/biophysical assays. A publication and conference presentation record is preferred.

The role is full time and begins January 1, 2027. The posting closes on August 21, 2026. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
