Postdoc position in cryoET - Loewith Lab, Geneva

University of Geneva, Switzerland

Application deadline: 01 Aug 2026

The Loewith lab in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, wishes to engage a talented postdoctoral fellow with electron cryo-tomography experience.

The group primarily studies the Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling network in fungal models - brewers' yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and, more recently, the rice blast agent Magnaporthe oryzae. The TOR kinase is a central regulator of eukaryote growth and metabolism and the target of clinically approved drugs, and we hope soon, agro chemicals. The lab directly, or through collaboration, leverages its access to a vast range of experimental techniques, including classical genetics, in vitro reconstitutions/biophysics, chemical biology, advanced light microscopy, microfluidics, molecular dynamics and structural biology tools to dissect the functions of TOR network components at the mol...
