Nicola Galvanetto

Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS), Grenoble, is advertising a 12-month postdoc/researcher position in biophysics focused on the behavior of proteins within and on the surface of biomolecular condensates . The position will be hosted in the newly established Nicola Galvanetto Lab (Single-Molecule Biophysics, IBS Grenoble), within the Protein Dynamics division led by Martin Blackledge . The lab works in experimental biophysics, especially single-molecule fluorescence , smFRET , custom optical microscopy, protein dynamics, and the study of intrinsically disordered proteins and phase separation . The project includes research activities such as innovating smFRET methods to measure protein dynamics on condensate surfaces, analyzing smFRET data, expressing/purifying/labeling proteins, and potentially developing electrophysiology measurements to probe voltage within biomolecular condensates. Eligibility highlights: a PhD is required, with 1–4 years of relevant experience. Preferred expertise includes single-molecule methods, custom optical microscopes, data analysis and coding, protein expression/purification/labeling, and other biophysical methods for protein characterization. Fluent English is required; non-French-speaking candidates should be willing to learn basic French. Funding and contract: full-time 12-month contract, with remuneration between €3,041.58 and €4,216.70 depending on experience. The role is funded by the ATIP program and the Ernst Hadorn Foundation. Deadline: apply before 26 June 2026, 23:59 . The starting date is 1 November 2026 . Interested candidates should apply via the CNRS job portal link and review the full offer details before submitting an application.
