We’re looking for two highly motivated postdocs to join our interdisciplinary lab. The overarching goal of our research is to characterize general principles by which proteins self-organize in space and time. In this endeavor, we develop computational as well as experimental approaches and bridge different fields of biology, which include:
- Structural Bioinformatics and Protein Networks
- Structural Biology & Biochemistry
- Yeast Biology and Lab Automation
- Synthetic Biology and Protein Design
- Protein and Proteome Evolution
- High-throughput Confocal Microscopy
Examples of projects include the design of protein condensates with unique functions and tunable phenotypes, the creation of chaperones based on non-chaperone proteins, or characterizing protein evolution across 1,000 yeast strains.
Our lab is an outstanding place to transition from wet-to-dry or dry-to-wet work.
The ideal candidate should be curious and independent with strong analytical skills and have a Ph.D. in biological sciences (wet- and/or dry), chemistry, or physics.
If interested, get in touch by email (emmanuel.levy@gmail.com), and explain your motivation to join our lab.
