About this position

Emory University is advertising an immediate Research Assistant opening in Biochemistry/Biophysics in the Shekhar lab, led by Shashank Shekhar (Assistant Professor of Physics, Biochemistry & Cell Biology). The lab studies actin dynamics, biochemical mechanisms regulating actin behavior, and related single-molecule biophysical and biochemical questions in cell biology and mechanobiology.

This opportunity is especially suitable for a recent graduate or early-career researcher who wants targeted hands-on research experience before graduate school. The post also notes that successful candidates may have the opportunity to transition into a PhD student role in the lab later.

Research interests / keywords: biochemistry, biophysics, actin dynamics, cell culture, purified proteins, protein biochemistry, mechanobiology, single-molecule experiments, multicomponent regulation of cytoskeletal systems.

Eligibility highlights: B.S. or M.S. in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Biophysics; experience in cell culture or working with purified proteins is expected.

Application window: deadline is 2026-05-15, or earlier if the right candidate is found.

How to apply: email the PI with your CV, a short statement of interest, and names of 2–3 references, using the subject line “Research Assistant Position.” In parallel, submit the application through the linked Emory job portal.

Funding details

Research assistant position; funding details are not specified in the post. The role is described as an immediate opening in the lab, with a possible transition into a PhD student position later.

What's required

Applicants should have a B.S. or M.S. in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Biophysics. Experience in cell culture or working with purified proteins is required or strongly preferred. The post is aimed at someone seeking hands-on research experience before graduate school.
