PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biophysics in Canada

PhD position in Mechanoreceptors & Sensory Biophysics at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich. The project investigates novel protein agonists of the human sweet taste receptor, combining AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy with computational and AI-guided protein design. The research explores how membrane proteins contribute to taste perception and how new molecular tools can be developed to modulate receptor activity. The doctoral resear...

Osnabrück University is recruiting a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher as a Research Associate to join an interdisciplinary team working at the interface of immunology and mechanobiology . The project, “Cyclic Mechanical Forces Sustain Cytotoxic Immune Competence,” examines how physiological mechanical forces encountered during circulation and breathing help maintain cytotoxic immune function. The research focuses on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which play...

The PhD@Tec21 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Cofund doctoral programme offers seven full-time doctoral positions in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering at Université Grenoble Alpes in Grenoble, France. The programme trains researchers in interdisciplinary areas including environmental engineering, bioengineering, sustainable energy, transportation, ecotechnology and cleantech. Research projects span geomechanics, fluid mechanics, biophysics, rheophysics, materials behavior and multiphysics m...

The Vasquez-Vivar Lab in the Department of Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary program studying fetal brain injury and the mechanisms underlying acquired motor disorders in children. The project combines redox biology, biochemistry, and preclinical models to investigate gain- and loss-of-function relationships and to identify opportunities for therapeutic perinatal interventions. The lab emphasizes redox cell biology and...

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 ...

The Multiscale Modelling of Complex Systems group, known as PomaLab, at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw is recruiting for a postdoctoral researcher / assistant professor to work on the NCN OPUS 29 project Large scale modeling of conformational changes in nucleic acids . The project is led by Dr. Adolfo Poma and focuses on how DNA and RNA change shape across the large length and time scales that are difficult to access with all-atom simula...

UC Irvine’s Department of Physiology & Biophysics in the School of Medicine is recruiting for ongoing postdoctoral scholar opportunities across its research programs. The positions are described as open positions available throughout the year, rather than a single fixed project, giving successful candidates the chance to join active laboratory research in physiology, biophysics, and related biomedical or biological sciences. The advertised role is intended for researchers with strong experimenta...

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join its applied nanotechnology lab in Pittsburgh. The role centers on research projects involving the production and characterization of multivalent DNA origami nanosensors, bringing together molecular design, laboratory experimentation, and quantitative analysis. The successful candidate will work on cloning and/or synthesis activities related to nucleic acid nanotechnology, helpin...

This postdoctoral position is based at the August Chełkowski Institute of Physics , Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia in Katowice , and is part of the NCN OPUS 29 project “The One Ring to Rule Them All – How Does Heme Affect Embryonic Development?” led by Prof. Witold Nowak . The role is framed as an assistant professor position in the research staff group and offers one opening in a full-time, fixed-term appointment. The successful researcher will contribute to interdisci...
