Senior scientist opening at Stanford — membrane protein biochemistry & structural biology

Jobs in Structural Biology and Related Fields Senior scientist opening at Stanford — membrane protein biochemistry & structural biology Stanford University, United States We are excited to share an opening for a Senior Staff Scientist in the Rogala lab at Stanford University. We are seeking an experienced protein biochemist or structural biologist with strong, hands‑on expertise in integral membrane proteins and enthusiasm for tackling difficult targets. This position centers on SLC transporters implicated in cancer and rare metabolic disorders. The successful candidate will serve as a scientific anchor of this research program — working on experimental planning and strategy, driving bench work on difficult targets, and acting as a trusted mentor and technical resource for junior lab members. The role spans biochemistry, cryo‑electron microscopy, and chemical biology, from experimental design through publication. Candidates with experience purifying and reconstituting membrane proteins into liposomes/nanodiscs, developing nanobody binders, establishing biochemical assays, and determining structures by single‑particle cryo‑EM are particularly encouraged to apply. We also welcome applicants with strong single‑particle cryo‑EM backgrounds who have worked on challenging soluble or multi‑subunit complexes and wish to expand into the membrane protein space. Key Qualifications: Deep understanding of protein structure–function relationships and a strong background in membrane protein biochemistry and/or structural biology. Extensive chromatography experience (ÄKTA systems required; UHPLC familiarity is a plus). Collaborative, creative experimentalist with curiosity, persistence, and a get‑things‑done mentality. Strong commitment to scientific rigor, reproducibility, and mentoring junior researchers. #J-18808-Ljbffr Instruct-ERIC
