Postdoctoral Researcher in Condensate Biology: The Martin Lab at the University of Geneva is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to explore the biophysical properties of biomolecular condensates at the interface of cytoskeleton and cell biology. The role focuses on investigating condensates both in vitro and in vivo, using a well-established system to connect biophysical measurements with functional outcomes. The position offers a stimulating research environment with a collaborative community interested in cellular, molecular, and biophysical mechanisms.
