About the role

Postdoctoral Researcher - Intrinsically Disordered Proteins The Sukenik lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead efforts linking ensemble structure to function in intrinsically disordered proteins. The work will involve the development of new, high-throughput experimental methods to profile structure and function of disordered proteins in pooled experiments. A Ph. D. in Biophysics, Biochemistry, Molecular/Cell biology or closely related field is required. Prior publication record in computational protein biophysics is required. This position is part of a bargaining unit and is represented by the union SEIU, Local 200 United. The successful candidate will have a strong background in biochemistry, molecular biophysics, molecular biology, or similar fields. Expertise includes but is not limited to protein expression and purification, cell and tissue culture, cloning, and next-gen sequencing. A good candidate should also have strong verbal and written communication skills, be a strong and collegial team player, embrace open science policies including preprint publications, and be enthusiastic about learning new skills and methods. Design, execute, and analyze experiments. Mentor graduate and undergraduate students. Write manuscripts and fellowships, design posters, and assist in grant writing. Attend conferences and workshops. In addition to completing an online application, please attach a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and a list of three references.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
