Postdoctoral Position in Integrative Structural Biology of Protein Translation

Postdoctoral Position in Integrative Structural Biology of Protein Translation Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, Poland Application deadline: 02 Nov 2026 The Schacherl lab applies cutting-edge methods to study ribosome dynamics in the native cellular context and outside the cell. The project seeks to develop a mechanistic, spatially resolved model of protein synthesis in human brain cells and define how it is remodeled during neurodegenerative disease, integrating structural biology, mainly cryo-EM, advanced light microscopy, molecular biology and computational approaches. Ideal candidate: PhD in structural biology or a related discipline, such as biophysics or biochemistry. Track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals Advanced knowledge of cryo-EM techniques, specifically single-particle analysis, and molecular modelling; ideally, also solid knowledge of cryo-ET Basic programming skills in Python and experience in Unix-Linux environments, including HPC Fluency in English (spoken and written language) Application deadline is 2 November.
