Vacancies

Community science: 

Since 1996, Alireza Mashaghi has actively advocated for collaborations between disciplines to explore new ways of addressing scientific and societal challenges. The team has a long history of promoting open collaboration within a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for science. Together, we strive for breakthrough innovations, moving beyond the constraints of formal academic relationships and driven by creativity and curiosity rather than being primarily guided by funding or current trends.

Formal vacancies: 

Postdoc in the fields of biomolecular condensate mechanochemistry

The postdoctoral researcher will develop innovative biophysical assays to study the formation of biomolecular condensates and to monitor biochemical reactions within condensate droplets at high resolution. This research will provide insights into condensate mechanochemistry as well as disease-relevant processes in condensed phases, including genome instability and metabolic diseases.

Applicants are invited to submit an email including cover letter, CV with publication list to prof. Alireza Mashaghi (Email: themashaghilab@gmail.com).
