About this position

Emory University School of Medicine’s Liang Laboratory in Atlanta, United States, is recruiting three full-time Postdoctoral Fellows: two positions in Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) and Structural Biology, and one in Cryo-Electron Tomography (Cryo-ET) and In Situ Structural Biology.

The laboratory combines structural biology, protein biochemistry, biophysics, and computational methods to study viral RNA synthesis machinery, viral replication, disease-associated amyloid filaments, and protein aggregates involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Projects may include high-resolution structures of viral polymerase complexes and other macromolecular assemblies; Cryo-EM single-particle analysis, helical reconstruction, and atomic model building; Cryo-ET, tomographic reconstruction, subtomogram averaging, and in situ analysis; protein expression, purification, biochemical characterization, and sample optimization; and computational image processing and three-dimensional reconstruction.

Applicants must hold or be nearing completion of a Ph.D. in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, molecular biology, neuroscience, virology, or a related field. Hands-on Cryo-EM and/or Cryo-ET experience, independent research capability, and strong experimental or computational data-analysis skills are required. Experience with CryoSPARC, RELION, tomographic processing, protein biochemistry, and atomic model building is welcomed.

The positions provide a competitive NIH-aligned salary commensurate with experience and comprehensive benefits. Fellows will have access to advanced Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET facilities, computational resources, and interdisciplinary collaborations across structural biology, virology, neuroscience, biochemistry, and biomedical science.

To apply, submit a single PDF containing a CV and publication list, a 1–2-page research statement, a one-page technical experience summary, representative publications or manuscripts if applicable, and three professional references. Send materials to Associate Professor Bo Liang at [email protected]. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until filled; the listed closing date is December 31, 2026.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term postdoctoral positions offer a competitive salary aligned with NIH postdoctoral guidelines and Emory University policies, commensurate with qualifications and experience, plus comprehensive benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold or expect to receive before appointment a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Virology, or a related discipline. Demonstrated hands-on expertise in Cryo-EM and/or Cryo-ET and the ability to work independently are required. Candidates should have strong experimental and/or computational skills in sample preparation, structural data processing, and analysis, with the ability to troubleshoot and advance projects with minimal supervision. Preferred experience includes protein expression and purification, biochemical or biophysical characterization, Cryo-EM single-particle analysis, helical reconstruction, Cryo-ET, subtomogram averaging, atomic model building, CryoSPARC, RELION, tomographic image processing, three-dimensional reconstruction, and computational structural analysis. Strong candidates should demonstrate scientific independence, creativity, problem-solving ability, a productive research record, communication and teamwork skills, organization, motivation, resilience, and commitment to scientific excellence.

How to apply

Prepare one PDF containing your CV with publication list, a 1–2-page research statement, a one-page Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET technical experience summary, representative publications or manuscripts if applicable, and contact information for three professional references. Email the application to Bo Liang at [email protected], indicating your preferred research track. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
