COMMONS Postdocs

Each one of the COMMONS postdocs collaborate with at least two COMMONS PI’s, thus stimulating interactions and collaborations within the Center. The postdoc research projects are inspired from the COMMONS Challenges. 

Current COMMONS postdocs

  • Nicole Galenkamp (started May 2024)
    Cooperativity in protein binding to biological membranes
  • Ferdinand Fandrei (started March 2025)
    Membrane-induced liquid-liquid phase separation
  • Sajitha Sasidharan (started April 2025)
    Impact of lipid nanoparticles on membrane properties
  • Ewa Andrzejewska (started Feb 2025, leave of absence)
    Condensate-mediated amyloid aggregation through interfacial nucleation
Nicole Galenkamp, Ferdinand Fandrei, Sajitha Sasidharan, Ewa Andrzejewska

Two COMMONS-AMBER postdoc positions under recruitment

Two  3-year postdoctoral positions in the area of liquid-liquid phase separation of protein systems just opened at Lund University: these postdoctoral positions offer the opportunity to conduct collaborative projects with different groups in the COMMONS center of excellence with backgrounds in physical chemistry, biochemistry and soft matter physics.

Project 1: biocondensates in complex conditions The first position focuses on better experimental characterization of biocondensates in complex biological conditions, in particular probing small condensates and their dynamics. Contact: Emma Sparr, emma [dot] sparr [at] chem [dot] lu [dot] se (emma[dot]sparr[at]chem[dot]lu[dot]se) and Sara Linse. Apply here: Job advertisement – Project 1 at Lund University

Project 2: broader theoretical understanding of protein LLPS
The second position aims for a broader theoretical understanding of protein liquid–liquid phase separation using soft matter concepts, comparing and combining knowledge from globular and intrinsically disordered proteins. Contact: Felix Roosen-Runge, felix [dot] roosen-runge [at] chem [dot] lu [dot] se (felix[dot]roosen-runge[at]chem[dot]lu[dot]se) and Anna Stradner. Apply here: Job advertisement – Project 2 at Lund University 

Both positions will be anchored at the Division of Physical Chemistry at Lund University, and are part of the AMBER CoFUND project (see AMBER CoFUND website) and connected to the new theme "Soft Matter in Life" at LINXS (see LINXS Soft Matter in Life website).

Application deadline is March 2, 2026, but early contact for information on the application process is strongly encouraged.
