Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoctoral researcher in Membrane protein chemistry Full-time
The Aditi Das Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to join our research team starting Fall 2026.
We are looking for applicants with strong expertise in expression and purification of membrane proteins or other challenging protein systems. The successful candidate will contribute to research focused on structure–function relationships and mechanisms of biologically important enzymes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Express, purify, and characterize membrane proteins and other difficult-to-handle proteins.
- Design and perform biochemical assays to interrogate enzyme activity and kinetics.
- Analyze metabolites and enzyme products using mass spectrometry–based approaches.
- Collaborate on project design, data interpretation, and publication preparation.
- Mentor junior trainees and participate in lab meetings and group activities.
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Biophysics, or related field.
- Demonstrated experience with membrane protein expression and purification (or similarly challenging proteins).
- Knowledge and practical experience in enzymology and analysis of metabolites by mass spectrometry.
- Strong written and oral communication skills.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
Preferred (but not required):
- Experience with metalloenzymes.
- Prior work with cytochrome P450 enzymes or related oxidative systems.
Position Details:
- Start date: Fall 2026 (flexible within reason).
- Competitive salary and benefits consistent with NIH/Georgia Tech postdoctoral scholar guidelines.
- Opportunity for professional development and participation in interdisciplinary collaborations.
Application Instructions:
Please submit the following materials to Dr. Aditi Das (email: [insert contact email]) with subject line: “Postdoctoral Application — Membrane Proteins & Enzymology”
- Cover letter describing your research background, interests, and fit for the position.
- Curriculum vitae (CV) including publication list.
- Contact information for three professional references.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, with priority given to materials received by April 15th
