Postdoc Opportunities in Structural Biology in Canada

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...

The Matos laboratory at the Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna , is seeking a Senior Scientist for mechanistic research into DNA repair, homologous recombination, meiotic crossover formation and chromosome biology. The successful researcher will take a leading role in projects investigating how recombination intermediates are formed and processed, how meiotic crossovers are generated, and how chromosome architecture and recombination are coordinated during gametogenesis. The laboratory works ...

Vicente Pelechano’s Research Group at Karolinska Institutet is offering a postdoctoral scholarship in computational and structural RNA biology. The project sits at the intersection of RNA biology, computational biology, and genome-wide method development, with a strong emphasis on how RNA sequence and structure shape gene regulation and cellular phenotypes. The successful candidate will work on understanding how variation in untranslated regions, especially alternative 3′ UTR isoforms and natura...

The Zhang Lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for research at the intersection of bioinformatics, comparative genomics, structural analysis, and machine learning. The position is centered on independent computational research with an emphasis on protein bioinformatics, evolutionary analysis, and structural bioinformatics, alongside the development and application of machine-learning approaches. The fellow will contribute to manuscript and grant preparation, includin...

The University of Hong Kong is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology, School of Clinical Medicine. The researcher will join a vibrant multidisciplinary team working on emerging infectious diseases and computationally driven life-science research. This is primarily a dry-lab position carried out in close collaboration with a wet-lab team. The research will address virus-host interactions, pathogenic determinants and virus evolution, with opportunities t...

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...

This postdoctoral position is in the Department of Structural Chemistry and Biology of Nucleic Acids at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań. The project is led by Prof. Ryszard Kierzek and focuses on how RNA modifications alter RNA structure and function, with special attention to natural RNAs and in vitro transcribed vaccine mRNAs. The research is centred on modified nucleotides that are highly relevant in RNA biology and RNA therapeutics, including pseud...
