Xile Hu

The Laboratory of Inorganic Synthesis and Catalysis at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), led by Professor Xile Hu, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the area of protein engineering for biocatalysis. The group focuses on expanding the potential of enzymes for organic synthesis, particularly through protein engineering and directed evolution to enable new abiotic reactivity and applications. This position is ideal for candidates with expertise in synthetic biology or molecular biology, who will collaborate with a team of synthetic chemists to advance research in biocatalysis and organic synthesis. The lab is internationally recognized for its innovative research at the interface of chemistry and biology. Applicants should have a strong background in synthetic biology, molecular biology, protein engineering, or related fields. Experience with directed evolution and organic synthesis is highly desirable. The position is based at EPFL in Switzerland, a leading institution in science and engineering. For more information and application instructions, candidates should consult the provided links. Funding details are not specified, but postdoctoral positions at EPFL are typically fully funded. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers interested in advancing the frontiers of protein engineering and biocatalysis in a collaborative and dynamic environment.
