David C. Garcia

We’re hiring in the Garcia Lab at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) for a multi-university collaborative effort focused on high-throughput cell-free synthetic biology , intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) , and their role in human disease . Open roles: • Postdoctoral Research Associate — lead a project developing high-throughput assays and predictive models for IDP folding behavior. This role is a strong fit for someone with a background in protein biochemistry or synthetic biology who enjoys combining bench work with machine learning . • Synthetic Biology Technician — a hybrid lab management and hands-on research position for someone with 1–3 years of wet-lab experience who likes building systems that keep a lab running. • Graduate Student — the lab is also recruiting motivated graduate students for multiple cell-free biology projects related to biosensing and biomanufacturing . Research themes: synthetic biology, protein science, cell-free systems, biosensing, biomanufacturing, and computational modeling of protein behavior. Eligibility highlights: the postdoc call explicitly mentions protein biochemistry/synthetic biology experience and interest in machine learning; the technician role asks for 1–3 years of wet-lab experience; the graduate student role is described as for motivated grad students, with no additional requirements listed in the post.
