Join the Fried Lab.
Doing great science today requires a team of committed and creative people from a variety of scientific and personal backgrounds.
An open lab where dogmas get questioned.
We recruit scientists with diverse skills and interests to tackle interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of biophysics, chemical biology, and synthetic biology. We celebrate our members' diversity by speaking openly about our heritages, our interests outside science, and the challenges (and privileges) of our scientific journeys. We work in teams and meet often, so we can troubleshoot experiments and bounce ideas off each other.
Students and fellows build skills in proteomics, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, directed evolution, and biomaterials — valuable in biotech and medicine as well as basic research — and develop the strong writing and communication skills that matter in any career.
Postdoctoral fellows
Ph.D. holders with a background in mass spectrometry, synthetic biology, chemical biology, or biophysics are encouraged to apply. Email Stephen with:
(1) a CV including publications; (2) a summary of current and future research interests; (3) three references with names, phone numbers, and emails.

Apply through the JHU Chemistry graduate program and note your interest in the lab. Students can also join through the Program in Molecular Biophysics (PMB), the Chemistry–Biology Interface program (CBI), and the CMDB program.
Undergraduates
We're keen to have undergrads who want a taste of research. If you're a JHU undergrad in Chemistry, Biology, Biophysics, or a related department, email Stephen with your CV.
