[3dem] Postdoctoral Research Position in Structural Microbiology

[Donghyun Park]

Dear colleagues,

I am writing to advertise a postdoctoral position in my laboratory (Park Lab) at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California.

Our lab is interested in understanding the structural basis of bacteriophage–bacteria interactions, with the long-term goal of informing rational strategies to target bacterial pathogens, including Mycobacterium species. We use cutting-edge cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to visualize phage infection processes directly in cells and connect in situ structures to biological function. A recent example of our work can be found here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)00345-9__;!!Mih3wA!G59NnmbsvPBr8SOjJzxEplGfdFlpN8TtodiNrsmz23nsL4ad8ySBWFqhMKyTcY4jAqUIAwljEta4KYlWC2JD$ .

We are seeking highly motivated candidates with prior experience in electron microscopy and/or other structural biology methods. Experience in single-particle analysis, cryo-ET, image processing, model building, or integrative structural approaches is particularly welcome, though strong quantitative or computational backgrounds with an interest in learning cryo-EM/ET are also encouraged to apply.

Scripps Research offers a vibrant, highly collaborative scientific environment and houses state-of-the-art instrumentation supporting all aspects of modern electron microscopy, including single-particle cryo-EM, cryo-ET, cryo-FIB milling, and cryo-CLEM. The institute is located in San Diego, providing an outstanding quality of life with year-round mild weather and access to diverse outdoor activities.

Interested candidates should contact me directly with a CV and a brief description of their research interests. Informal inquiries are very welcome.

Best,
Raphael Park
