Postdoctoral Researcher – Single-Molecule Biophysics/Structural Biology

<h3>Position Overview</h3> <p class="isSelectedEnd">The laboratory of Dr. Yi-Chih Lin in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Texas at Austin is seeking one fully funded Postdoctoral Researcher to study membrane protein dynamics using high-speed atomic force microscopy, single-molecule biophysics, structural biology, and complementary biochemical and computational approaches. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team investigating how membrane-associated proteins, viral protein assemblies, protein–lipid interactions, and viral fusion-related complexes undergo conformational and intermolecular dynamics in real time. This position is ideal for candidates interested in connecting molecular structure, membrane organization, and dynamic biological function through advanced single-molecule imaging and quantitative analysis.</p> <h3>Preferred Qualifications</h3> <ul> <li>PhD in biophysics, structural biology, biochemistry, physical chemistry, molecular biology, bioengineering, or a related field.</li> <li>0–1 year of postdoctoral experience preferred, with strong motivation and experience in membrane protein, viral protein, or related biomolecular systems.</li> <li>At least one first-author research publication in a peer-reviewed, internationally recognized journal.</li> <li>Expertise in protein expression, purification, and biochemical assays.</li> <li>Experience in at least one structural or biophysical technique, such as electron microscopy, X-ray c
