1 Postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics and 
Biochemistry at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. 

What we offer 

We offer a stimulating, friendly and interdisciplinary work environment, with excellent working 
conditions (salary, resources, ...) and frontier research projects in the field of lipid and membrane
biology. For more information on the project please check our group website
(http://www3.unifr.ch/bio/en/research/bioinformatics/vanni.html) and/or some recent publications 
(Zoni et al, PNAS, 2021; Zoni et al, eLife, 2021; Srinivasan et al., Faraday Discussions, 2021).
The selected candidate will have the opportunity to interact extensively with outstanding
experimental labs in Fribourg, Bern, Zurich, Geneva and abroad. The postdoctoral position is initially
funded for 2.5 years in the context of an ERC Starting Grant: The molecular dynamics of membrane
contact sites. 
Initial gross annual salary will be 65,000 CHF (approx. 65,000 $).

Applicant 

We are looking for highly motivated, team-oriented independent thinkers. 
Postdoctoral candidates should have a PhD in physics, chemistry, physical chemistry, biophysics, 
engineering or a related subject. The applicant should have a background in molecular dynamics 
simulations of proteins and/or lipid membranes. The applicant should have a track-record of
individual and team accomplishments, and he must be able to work independently and possibly
supervise PhD students. 
In general, any previous specific knowledge is less important than strong motivation, enthusiasm
for scientific research and problem-solving skills.
