Postdoctoral Research Positions

The Department is actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows interested in a broad range of topics, including cell biology, systems biology, biophysics, biochemistry, developmental biology, neurobiology, genetics, microbiology, computational biology, and structural biology. We are seeking highly creative and motivated postdocs with broad interests and outstanding graduate training. We encourage applicants from various backgrounds and promote diversity throughout the University. Postdoctoral appointments are initially 1 year in duration, renewable on an annual basis.

Recent Faculty in the Department

Nicholas Bellono:

Postdoc openings in the Bellono lab: Explore molecular adaptations underlying unique behaviors. Octopus, sharks, jellysh, photosynthetic animals, walking sh, and more! Background in cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, structure, other molecular approaches.

Doeke Hekstra:

The Hekstra lab aims to understand how proteins work as evolving, physical “machines”. To do so, we develop crystallographic, computational and other methods. Let us know what you are interested in. Experience with computational methods, statistics, physics, and (bio)chemistry is a plus.

Maxim Prigozhin:

The Prigozhin lab is looking for postdoctoral fellows to be involved in collaborative and interdisciplinary work in the area of single-cell and single-molecule biophysics of transmembrane signaling. We are particularly interested in cryo-vitrication, all kinds of electron and optical microscopy, and G-protein-coupled receptors. Let us know what you are excited about!

Amanda Whipple:

The Whipple lab is investigating mechanisms of gene regulation in genomic imprinting, functions of imprinted non-coding RNAs in the brain, and therapeutic approaches for imprinting disorders. We seek collaborative and cross-disciplinary postdoctoral candidates in the areas of epigenetics, genomics, and neurobiology
