The Jomaa lab (https://med.virginia.edu/jomaa-lab/) employs a combination of molecular biology, biochemical, and structural biology approaches to investigate molecular mechanisms regulating the protein synthesis machinery during cellular stress. In particular, we are interested in protein localization to mitochondria and how it is impacted in dormant cancer cells. Recent work has been published in Science, Nat Comms, Nat Struct Mol Biol.
The lab is seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join this young, energetic and fun group to obtain snapshots of the protein synthesis machinery together with the regulatory factors, using state of the art of techniques, including but not limited to, single particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in addition to cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET).
A recent PhD graduate with experience in biochemistry and/or mammalian cell culture is desired. Expertise or knowledge with structural biology techniques is a plus.

Employment as a Postdoctoral Research Associate is viewed as training and is preparatory for a full-time academic or research career, is supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the appointee to publish the results of his/her research or scholarship during the training period.
