Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California, Irvine


University of California, Irvine, Irvine, United States
Application deadline: 31 Mar 2026


Postdoctoral Scholar in Structural Biology & Translational Medicine

Are you a structural biologist looking to bridge the gap between fundamental discovery and real-world therapeutic applications? The Rongsheng Jin Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine (School of Medicine) is looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our NIH-funded research team!

The Mission: We are elucidating the molecular mechanisms of bacterial virulence factors and translating these discoveries into macromolecular drug development—specifically focusing on antibodies, vaccines, and innovative medical cosmetics.

The Tools: Our lab sits at the cutting edge of biophysics, integrating Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). X-ray crystallography, and advanced biochemical & cell biology assays.

Why Join Us? Beyond the bench, you will join a deeply collaborative international network spanning Cell Biology, Toxicology, Dermatology, and Aesthetic Medicine, with complementary research in animal disease models. This is a unique opportunity to see your structural work inform the future of clinical therapy and medical aesthetics. Furthermore, Irvine is consistently ranked as one of the safest and best places to live in the US!

Who You Are:

  • Hold a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics, or Structural Biology.
  • Passionate about protein structure-to-function relationships.
  • Driven by a desire to innovate in both basic science and translational medicine.

 

How to Apply: Interested candidates should send their CV and contact info for three referees to r.jin@uci.edu. Apply link: https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10029
