Overview
The Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience is recruiting a fully funded postdoctoral researcher to study how multimeric membrane proteins assemble using CRISPR-based genetic screens and mechanistic cell biology.
Complete research opportunity details
The project combines CRISPR pooled screens with molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and structural biology. The researcher will conduct independent experiments, troubleshoot methods, publish findings and contribute to team training. The position is available from January 2027 and is initially limited to two years.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants should have a PhD in cell biology, molecular biology, molecular neurobiology, genetics or a related field completed within the last 12 months or expected imminently. Experience with pooled CRISPR screens in mammalian cells, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and mammalian cell culture is expected.
Tips for this postdoctoral opportunity
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Match your research background to the project, laboratory, supervisor and required methods rather than applying only from the title.
- Prepare a focused academic CV, transcripts, publications and research statement or proposal when requested by the official call.
- Confirm funding duration, stipend/salary, tuition coverage, start date and eligibility for international applicants.
- Contact a supervisor before applying only when the official instructions recommend or require it.
