Postdoc Opportunities in Biochemistry in United States

Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Dr. David Kehoe in the Department of Biology. The project investigates the DNA-binding activity of a new class of photoreceptors in marine Synechococcus , combining DNA/protein biochemistry with computational approaches. The research will determine the DNA-binding sites and light-color-regulated binding activities of two novel photoreceptors identified as master regulators of Type 4 Chro...

The Zaleski Lab in the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow/biomaterials scientist to join its multidisciplinary research environment. The project focuses on the design and synthesis of hybrid molecular and nanomaterial catalysts. The researcher will investigate bacterial cells, membrane biochemistry, extracellular vesicles, and interactions between cell-derived materials and nanomaterials. The work combines biomaterials research with bacterial cell grow...

This postdoctoral research opportunity is based in the Division of Biology, Chemistry and Materials Science within the Office of Science and Engineering Labs at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project addresses biofilms associated with medical device-related infections, with a focus on understanding how biofilms form on device surfaces and how they can be detected and controlled. The fellow will work on metho...

The Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to contribute to interdisciplinary research on novel, next-generation multifunctional construction materials . The work sits at the intersection of silica chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, with a strong emphasis on understanding and designing materials with mechanical and electrical properties relevant to future infrastructure applications. The pos...

The University of Miami’s Biochemistry & Molecular Biology department is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral associate for research in HIV-1 and drug-induced injury mechanisms affecting the brain endothelium and the blood-brain barrier. The successful candidate will join an academic medical center environment at the University of Miami Health System and contribute to a project that combines molecular and cellular biology, virology, and animal-based studies. The role involves conducting cell cult...

The Ayala lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to join research on how RNA-binding protein function is regulated and how dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative disorders. The project sits within a medical research environment at Saint Louis University and is centered on protein biochemistry, cell biology, and tissue culture. The lab is interested in protein–RNA interactions and their cellular consequences, with an emphasis on mechanisms that connect RNA-bi...

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 Department of Physiology & Biophysics at Howard University College of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to research on pregnancy-related disorders, including gestational diabetes mellitus, and the long-term effects on maternal and offspring health. The project is centered on understanding how these conditions may shape later outcomes such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The research uses a broad set of experimental approaches across primary cells, cell...
