The Zhang lab at the Department of Cell Biology, Yale University, uses single-molecule approaches, especially high-resolution optical tweezers, to study folding dynamics of proteins involved in fundamental biological processes and human diseases. The lab is now seeking graduate students and postdocs for research in the following three areas: • Regulated SNARE folding and assembly. • Membrane protein folding, stability, and protein-membrane interactions. • Instrumental development. Prior research experience in single-molecule biophysics is not required. However, postdoc candidates should have strong quantitative skills and solid training in biophysics, molecular biology, or physics. If you are interested in these positions, please contact Dr. Yongli Zhang at yongli.zhang@yale.edu.
