Job Summary

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Margaret Stratton at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. We seek a motivated and creative scientist to lead projects at the interface of structural biology, biochemistry, and cell signaling, with a particular focus on protein kinases and phosphorylation-dependent regulatory mechanisms. Our work aims to uncover the molecular basis of signaling processes that control neuronal function, fertility, and human disease.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative and well-supported research environment with access to state-of-the-art resources in structural biology, including single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, protein biochemistry, and quantitative approaches to studying protein structure and function. This position offers the opportunity to drive independent, mechanistic projects, develop new experimental approaches, and contribute to high-impact publications.

Maintain laboratory apparatus as applicable in the best possible order; look up catalog numbers and cost of needed research items.

Train junior personnel in basic laboratory methods.

Other Functions

Work collaboratively and effectively to promote teamwork, equality and inclusiveness.

Work in partnership with colleagues within the CNS community and across the campus to support the Dean’s strategic priorities.

Perform other duties as assigned in support of the mission and goals of the College of Natural Sciences.

Minimum Qualifications

Ph.D. in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field.

Strong background in protein expression, purification, and biochemical characterization.

Interest in mechanistic biology and signaling systems.

Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, or related structural approaches is preferred.

Additional Details

At UMass Amherst and in CNS, we strive to be a community where every individual feels a sense of belonging, where every individual is included, and where every individual is valued. These values and goals are reflected in the College of Natural Sciences’ Inclusive Excellence framework and in the UMass Amherst’s For the Common Good: 2024–2034 Strategic Plan.
