PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biophysics in United States

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 ...

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...

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar for the Ardoña Lab . The project focuses on developing and investigating energy-transporting biomolecular assemblies in cellular or other physiologically relevant environments. This is an interdisciplinary research opportunity at the intersection of chemistry , engineering , and biophysics . The scholar will work on the design, synthesis, and characterization of or...

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...

Postdoctoral Scholar positions are occasionally available in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine . The appointment sits within the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences and is sponsored by faculty members in molecular biology and biochemistry. This opening is presented as a general postdoctoral opportunity rather than a single fixed project, so the exact research focus may vary depending on the faculty sponsor and available opportun...

Emory University School of Medicine’s Liang Laboratory in Atlanta, United States, is recruiting three full-time Postdoctoral Fellows: two positions in Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) and Structural Biology, and one in Cryo-Electron Tomography (Cryo-ET) and In Situ Structural Biology. The laboratory combines structural biology, protein biochemistry, biophysics, and computational methods to study viral RNA synthesis machinery, viral replication, disease-associated amyloid filaments, and protein...

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics in College Station, Texas, United States. The successful researcher will design, perform, and analyze experiments examining structure–function relationships of assigned proteins. Responsibilities include cloning and expressing proteins of interest; protein purification; obtaining protein crystals; crystallization; data collection and analysis; and preparing presentati...
