After almost ten years at @icfo.eu, I’m excited to share that next month I’ll join the Medicine and Life Sciences department at @upf.edu as a Group Leader in Quantitative Biology, in Barcelona’s @prbb.org, the largest biomedical research hub in Southern Europe! (1/3)

Reminder: our postdoc and PhD positions are still open. We work across different areas (wet and dry lab), but I am especially after people with a computational biology, bioinformatics, pytorch whisperer kind of background. Protein design and OpenFold/AF also counts.

I am super excited to announce that we have a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics open in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon! 🧪

Interfolio link: apply.interfolio.com/174360

PLEASE, share widely across the blue skies!

Let me briefly explain what we're looking for:

1/10
Tenure-track Position in Biophysics at Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Physics Location: Pittsburgh, PA Open Date: Sep 19, 2025 Description The Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics. The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a higher level may also be considered. We seek outstanding candidates with a strong record in cellular and subcellular biophysics. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, uncovering how key characteristics of living systems arise from the interplay between supramolecular cellular structures, how the emergent cellular circuitry defines goals and enables robust decision making, and how metabolic resources are allocated. This encompasses understanding of how information is learned, stored, transduced, and processed across subcellular structures. Applicants with theoretical, data science, or experimental backgrounds within biological physics are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will strengthen and extend research programs of current biophysics faculty in the Department of Physics and collaborate with broader life science activities across many departments at CMU and the wider Pittsburgh area.

ER exit sites are dynamic ER subdomains that integrate signals, reshape membranes and steer secretion. Twelve groups in the field came together to map their diversity, regulation, unanswered questions and future directions.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Towards a unified framework for the function of endoplasmic reticulum exit sites - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized ER subdomains that regulate the export of secreted cargo. This Roadmap explores how ERES integrate biochemical and mechanical signals to coordinate trafficking and proposes a multidisciplinary strategy to investigate their function, including in disease.

Genetic studies reveal that polyunsaturated lipids do more than simply increase the fluidity of the cell membrane.
