Dear Colleagues, The Liang Laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry, Emory University School of Medicine, invites applications for up to five Postdoctoral Fellow positions in Cryo-EM, Cryo-ET, and Structural Biology.
Our laboratory is building an internationally recognized research program in Cryo-EM and Structural Biology to uncover the molecular mechanisms of human disease. Our current research emphasizes the high-resolution structural analysis of amyloid filaments and protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases, while complementary research programs investigate RNA virus polymerases, broad-spectrum antiviral discovery, and next-generation Cryo-EM and Cryo-ET methodologies. Open Positions Cryo-EM Structural Biology (2–3 Positions) Research opportunities include: * Amyloid filament structure determination * Cryo-EM sample preparation * Single-particle analysis (SPA) * Helical reconstruction * Atomic model building * Method development for structural biology Cryo-ET & In Situ Structural Biology (1–2 Positions) Research opportunities include: * Cryo-FIB and lamella preparation * Cryo-electron tomography * Subtomogram averaging (STA) * In situ structural biology * Structural analysis of protein aggregates Who Should Apply? We welcome outstanding candidates who hold (or expect to receive) a Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Virology, Neuroscience, or a related discipline. Applicants with experience in Cryo-EM, Cryo-ET, image processing, helical reconstruction, subtomogram averaging, atomic model building, or related structural biology techniques are particularly encouraged to apply. We are looking for highly motivated scientists who enjoy interdisciplinary research and aspire to develop independent research careers. Why Join Liang Laboratory? Joining Liang Laboratory offers the opportunity to help shape a rapidly growing research program at the interface of structural biology, neuroscience, and virology. Postdoctoral fellows will have access to: * State-of-the-art Cryo-EM and Cryo-ET facilities * Advanced computational resources for image processing and structural analysis * A collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment * Close mentorship in scientific leadership, manuscript preparation, and career development * Opportunities to publish high-impact research and establish international collaborations Application Please submit a single PDF containing: * Curriculum Vitae (CV) * Research Interests & Experience Statement (1–2 pages) * Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET Experience Summary (1 page, for applicants to Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET positions) * Representative publications (if applicable) * Contact information for three references Please send application materials to: Bo Liang, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Biochemistry Emory University School of Medicine Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will remain open until all positions are filled. Please feel free to share this announcement with qualified students, postdoctoral fellows, and colleagues who may be interested. We look forward to welcoming talented and ambitious scientists to Liang Laboratory. See Structure. Discover Life.
