AI-Based Protein Design and Enzyme Engineering Postdoctoral Associate

Full Time Life Scientists

Posting Summary

The Khare Laboratory at Rutgers University invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in computational enzyme engineering and AI-based protein design. A primary project will focus on engineering DNA polymerases supported by a federally funded and multi-institutional collaborative effort on DNA polymerase engineering. Postdoctoral fellows are also encouraged and supported to develop independent research directions aligned with the lab’s scientific program.


The laboratory develops and applies computational and machine-learning methods for enzyme engineering, de novo protein design, and the design of protein function. Research is conducted in close collaboration with experimental colleagues within and outside the group at Rutgers and beyond, with iterative cycles between computational design and experimental characterization.
