The Herzik Lab is always interested in welcoming curious, motivated, and innovative scientists who share our enthusiasm for understanding complex biological systems. Our research spans integrative structural biology, cryogenic electron microscopy technology development, mitochondrial proteostasis, computational biology, and therapeutic discovery. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and scientific disciplines and are committed to maintaining a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative laboratory environment that promotes scientific creativity, professional development, and individual success.
Inquiries about postdoctoral research opportunities should be directed to Dr. Herzik. We welcome applications from scientists with backgrounds in structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, computational biology, and related disciplines. Prior experience in cryoEM is welcomed but not required, particularly for candidates interested in developing complementary expertise.
Our laboratory provides opportunities to pursue independent research while developing expertise across a broad range of experimental and computational approaches. We emphasize rigorous scientific training, interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific communication, and individualized mentorship tailored to each researcher’s long-term career goals, whether in academia, industry, or other scientific professions.
Prospective fellows are encouraged to reach out with a curriculum vitae, a brief description of their research interests, and their future career goals. Candidates will also be encouraged to pursue competitive extramural fellowships and institutional funding opportunities.
Additional information about postdoctoral training and professional development is available through MD Anderson’s Postdoctoral Training Program.
Our laboratory also welcomes inquiries from motivated research professionals interested in contributing to our interdisciplinary research program. Research staff play an essential role in advancing our biological investigations, developing innovative experimental methodologies, and maintaining the laboratory’s scientific capabilities.
We are particularly interested in individuals with experience or interests in molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression and purification, biochemical and biophysical characterization, cryoEM specimen preparation, and computational structural biology. Opportunities for professional development and increasing scientific independence are important components of our laboratory environment.
Interested applicants are encouraged to explore available positions through MD Anderson Careers.
