Jobs in Structural Biology and Related Fields


Postdoctoral Research Associate position available on the Hsp70 Chaperone Code and Proteostasis (Spring 2027)


University of North Carolina at Charlotte, United States
Application deadline: 01 Aug 2026


A postdoctoral position is available in the Truman Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of the "chaperone code," which describes how post-translational modifications regulate molecular chaperones and cellular proteostasis. The successful candidate will employ a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry, proteomics, genetics, and cell biology approaches to define how chaperone modifications control protein folding, stress responses, signaling pathways, and disease-associated processes. Research projects span yeast and mammalian model systems and integrate cutting-edge proteomic and interactome-mapping technologies.

 

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or a related field. Experience in protein biochemistry, proteomics, cell signaling, or molecular genetics is desirable. The position offers opportunities for career development, collaboration, and publication in a highly productive research environment.

 

Required qualifications: At least one first author paper in a Q1 journal
Preferred qualifications: Previous experience working with molecular chaperones, phosphorylation in yeast and/or mammalian cells.
