Feng Qin

Postdoctoral Associate in Physiology and Biophysics at the University at Buffalo (Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences), in the Qin Laboratory for Dynamic Structural Biophysics . The lab studies protein dynamics , structural biology , electrophysiology , quantitative biophysics , and computational approaches to understand how proteins function in motion. Current work focuses on thermoTRP ion channels , temperature sensing, pain, and the development of time-resolved cryo-EM and ultrafast perturbation methods to capture transient conformational states. This is a full-time postdoctoral opening available immediately. The position offers interdisciplinary training, close mentoring, and opportunities to contribute to innovative research, publish high-quality papers, and build a strong foundation for an independent research career. The lab emphasizes collaboration across structural biology, electrophysiology, fluorescence microscopy, protein biochemistry, thermodynamics, instrumentation development, and quantitative modeling. Eligibility: applicants should have, or be close to completing, a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Physiology, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Experience with patch-clamp electrophysiology, single-particle cryo-EM, fluorescence microscopy, or related biophysical methods is preferred but not required. Funding: salary is competitive and commensurate with experience, following current NIH guidelines; the posted salary range is $49,000–$70,000 . Benefits include health and retirement options, and visa sponsorship is available for qualified international applicants. How to apply: submit a resume and a statement of research interests through the UBJobs application page. A cover letter is optional. The posting is open until filled .
