Postdoc / Postdoctoral Researcher

**Job Description**
The Ghanbarpour Laboratory at WashU Medicine is recruiting a highly motivated Postdoc to research the molecular mechanisms of ATP-dependent AAA+ proteolytic machines in both bacterial systems and human mitochondria. The role involves exploring how these complexes form and achieve substrate specificity through cryo-EM, cryo-ET structural biology, biochemical assays, mass spectrometry, and cellular assays. This position is for an individual with cell biology experience to elucidate the structure and function of soluble and membrane-anchored ATP-dependent AAA proteases and accessory proteins in mitochondria. The Postdoctoral Researcher will gain extensive hands-on experience in various advanced techniques, engage in collaborative opportunities, and dedicate 20% of their time to an independent project, potentially developing into a faculty proposal for academic positions.
