Working at NLR

NLR is located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado is the nation's primary laboratory for energy systems research and development.

Join the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), where world-class scientists, engineers, and experts are accelerating energy innovation through breakthrough research and systems integration. From our mission to our collaborative culture, NLR stands out in the research community for its commitment to an affordable and secure energy future. Spanning foundational science to applied systems engineering and analysis, we focus on solving complex challenges to deliver advanced, secure, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions. Our work helps strengthen U.S. industries, support job creation, and promote national economic growth.

At NLR, you'll find a mission-driven environment supported by state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary research teams, and strong collaborations with industry, academia, and other national laboratories. We offer robust professional development opportunities, and a competitive benefits package designed to support your career and well-being.

Job Description

The National Laboratory of the Rockies Biosciences Center has an immediate opening for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher position in the Physical Biochemistry and Photosynthesis Group to conduct basic research on the electron transfer and biophysical mechanisms of flavin-based electron bifurcating enzymes. The candidate’s research responsibilities will include the application of spectroscopic (UV/Vis steady state and transient absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance, fluorescence), electrochemical (protein film voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry), and biochemical methods towards the broader goal of understanding how the protein environment tunes redox cofactors for efficient and challenging electron transfer reactions.

The research project will involve collaborations with internal and external groups. The candidate will be required on a regular basis to prepare manuscripts and reports on research progress, present results at national meetings, mentor junior researchers, participate in professional development opportunities, and assist the project PI with the planning of project directions. To meet these requirements the candidate must possess strong organizational skills, excellent oral and written communication skills, and keen attention to detail.

Please include with your application materials a cover letter describing how your background and experience is relevant to this position.

Basic Qualifications

Must be a recent PhD graduate within the last three years.

* Must meet educational requirements prior to employment start date.

Additional Required Qualifications

A Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry or related discipline within the last 3 years.
Previous working knowledge and hands-on experience in techniques for expression and purification of recombinant proteins; and experience with the biochemical/biophysical investigation of redox active enzymes.
Must have strong oral and written communication skills, and a strong history of prior publication on relevant research.
The ability to work safely and independently in a laboratory setting is required.

Preferred Qualifications

Graduate research experience in any of the following areas: flavoenzymes, metalloenzymes, enzyme kinetics, protein-protein or protein-substrate interactions, transient absorption spectroscopy, EPR, and/or protein electrochemistry.
Experience working with oxygen-sensitive redox active biocatalysts and/or working as part of an interdisciplinary research team are a plus.

Job Application Submission Window

The anticipated closing window for application submission is up to 30 days and may be extended as needed.

Annual Salary Range (based on full-time 40 hours per week)

Job Profile: Postdoctoral Researcher / Annual Salary Range: $76,600 - $126,400
