Postdoctoral Candidates


We are looking for highly-motivated postdoctoral fellows to study the host-pathogen interaction in the cellular context by using cutting-edge cryo-ET with allied techniques, including cryo-FIB/SEM and cryo-CLEM.

Interested applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in one of the following fields: structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, and cell biology. Prior experience in structural biology research is not required. To inquire, please email Dr. Zhu ( shiwei.zhu@case.edu ) with a cover letter describing your research interest, a recent CV, and the contact information of 2 academic referees. 


Graduate Students


For graduate students interested in joining the lab, please look at our Biomedical Sciences Training Program at CWRU School of Medicine. Please submit application material that indicates that your priority program interest is the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, and Shiwei Zhu is the potential thesis advisor.
