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:
To apply, please follow the link on the Stanford Careers website. Informal inquiries are very welcome.
