One or two postdoctoral positions focusing on membrane protein structure and mechanism are available in the lab of Dr. Randy Stockbridge the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. The Stockbridge Lab integrates structural biology, biochemistry, single molecule biophysics, and microbiology to understand how membrane proteins enable microbes to withstand antimicrobial drugs and other sources of cellular stress. The successful candidate will have access to a vibrant intellectual community and state-of-the-art cryo-EM and laboratory facilities in the new Biological Sciences Building at Michigan.
These positions are supported by two NIH-funded projects, one focused on the discovery and characterization of novel membrane transport proteins, and one focused on the development of new antimicrobial compounds that target dental pathogens. The successful candidate will have opportunities to interact with external collaborators, such as computational biophysicists or medicinal chemists. The position would be ideal for scientists who would like to apply cryo-EM and/or single molecule approaches to achieve an integrative understanding of membrane transport physiology. Openings for postdoctoral researchers are available immediately.
The lab is a part of the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, MI.
Recent publications from the lab can be found here. I am committed to thoughtful, inclusive mentoring practices and regularly engage in culturally aware mentorship training.
