Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available in the Joiner Lab at the University of Cincinnati (www.thejoinerlab.com).
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with expertise in either structural biology/biochemistry or cell/molecular biology to pursue independent and collaborative research addressing fundamental questions related to 1) the regulation of small GTPases in organelle homeostasis and neurodegenerative disease, and 2) the production of methane by anaerobic methanogens.
Our laboratory integrates biochemical, structural, and cell-based approaches and we strive to maintain a highly collaborative research environment that values mentorship, intellectual exchange, and the professional development of all lab members.
The lab is committed to mentoring postdoctoral researchers as they develop scientific independence and prepare for career paths. Postdocs will receive regular feedback, structured mentoring, and opportunities to build skills in experimental design, communication, and leadership. We expect active participation in collaborations, manuscript preparation, grant and fellowship applications, and the mentoring of junior trainees.
These are full-time positions, each initially funded for 1–2 years, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance and funding availability. Postdoctoral researchers will have access to state-of-the-art core facilities and institutional resources supporting professional development.
This position is not eligible for H-1B sponsorship.
Position 1: Structural Biology / Biochemistry
Research Focus
This position will focus on illuminating the structural mechanics of these systems by using protein biochemistry, in vitro reconstitution, and structural biology approaches.
Minimum Requirements
• PhD in Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Biophysics, or a related discipline
• Extensive experience in protein expression and purification
• Strong experimental design, data analysis, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with cryo-electron microscopy, including sample preparation and/or data processing pipelines
• Experience developing and performing in vitro biochemical or biophysical assays
• Familiarity with structure–function analysis of proteins or protein complexes
Position 2: Cell/Molecular Biology
Research Focus
This position will focus on investigating cellular mechanisms of these systems using gene editing, fluorescence microscopy, and functional cell-based assays.
Minimum Requirements
• PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline
• Strong experience with cell culture and cell-based assays
• Ability to independently design, execute, and interpret experiments
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with gene editing approaches (e.g., CRISPR/Cas-based methods)
• Experience with fluorescence microscopy, including live-cell or quantitative imaging
• Familiarity with image analysis and data quantification workflows
Applicants should submit:
Applications missing any of these materials will not be considered. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
