About the lab: The Schreiter lab is part of the Molecular Tools and Imaging research area at Janelia. We aim to develop molecular tools that enable new biology. We often apply directed evolution, structure-guided design, and high-throughput functional screening to arrive at molecules with new or improved function. We collaborate closely with biology labs at Janelia and elsewhere to demonstrate the utility of our tools in model organisms such as mice, zebrafish, and fruit flies, and use them to tackle important biological questions. About the role: We are seeking postdoctoral associates that are excited about developing new molecular tools and applying them to challenging biological questions.
