PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Cryo Electron Microscopy

The University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher for the project Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue at the Viikki Campus in Helsinki, Finland. The project is based in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Department of Molecular and Integrative Bioscience, and is led by Principal Investigator Sarah O’Keefe with co-supervision from Brendan Battersby. The research investigates how proteins are made and how protein-synthesis machinery can be inhibi...

Harry Low’s Lab at Imperial College London is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the structure and mechanism of bacterial secretion systems. The project will use cryo-electron microscopy ( cryo-EM ) and structural biology approaches to understand how these systems function at the molecular level. The work sits at the intersection of bacterial pathogenesis, membrane remodelling and antibiotic discovery. By characterising secretion machinery and its mechanisms, the project aims to...

The University of Arizona’s Department of Basic Medical Sciences is seeking a postdoctoral research associate for Dr. Miao Zhang’s laboratory in Phoenix. The laboratory studies the structure and function of membrane proteins, with particular emphasis on ion channels and transporters. The research program uses cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to investigate membrane-protein architecture and mechanisms, supporting longer-term applications in AI-driven drug discovery. The role also encompasses mu...

A fully funded doctoral researcher project at the University of Helsinki invites a PhD student to join the O’Keefe Lab at the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences on the Viikki Campus in Helsinki . The work centres on protein synthesis and its inhibition, with a focus on the early stages of translation, membrane translocation and the discovery of new ways to probe and disrupt these processes. The project, Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue , brings together cellu...

The Debler Laboratory at Thomas Jefferson University is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist for a project at the intersection of biochemistry and structural biology. The position focuses on understanding the mechanism of macromolecular machines and assemblies using high-end structural approaches, with particular emphasis on x-ray crystallography and/or cryo-electron microscopy. The lab is described as well funded by NIH, strongly equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, and embedded in a ...

Research Officer in the Glukhova lab at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research This role sits in the Immunology Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and focuses on the biochemistry of Wnt signalling. The project is centered on the Wnt signalosome, a large and heterogeneous membrane protein complex that is central to Wnt pathway function and of interest for drug discovery. The successful candidate will join the Glukhova lab, a multidisciplinary grou...

The Ribbe/Hu laboratories in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine are recruiting postdoctoral scholars to work on the catalysis and/or assembly of nitrogenase. The project sits at the intersection of biochemical mechanism and structural biology, with a particular emphasis on how this important metalloenzyme is assembled and functions in the laboratory setting. Researchers in the Ribbe/Hu group will be part of an active postdoctoral environm...

The McNulty Laboratory in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar for an NIH-funded research program in structural immunology and innate immune signaling. The project centers on the molecular recognition, assembly, and regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome complexes. The successful candidate will investigate how inflammasome regulation is controlled through integrated protein and nucleic acid biochemistry, quantita...

The Goulding Lab at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study the molecular mechanisms of bacterial competition using cryo-electron microscopy. Working in collaboration with the Hayes Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the project focuses on the structures and assembly of effector, immunity, and delivery complexes used by bacteria to attack neighboring cells, defend against attack, and invade host cells. The postdoctoral researcher will use ...
