We are seeking to appoint a talented and ambitious postdoctoral researcher to join Prof. Matthew Freeman’s group at the Dunn School of Pathology to carry out research in the biochemistry and cell biology of rhomboid-like membrane proteins, with an emphasis on proteostasis and protein quality control.
