Biotechnology Regulatory Fellowships are six-month, full-time (37.5 hours per week), hands-on professional development fellowships structured to engage Fellows in developing the evidence basis needed to meet future regulatory challenges presented by novel products of biotechnology. The Fellowships, which take place in Washington, D.C., are conducted and administered under the auspices of the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law (CSTL) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Fellows will identify new regulatory frameworks for the anticipated cutting-edge products expected to emerge over the next several decades and thereby expand agency options for thoughtful, effective regulation. Fellows will participate in a series of seminars led by subject-matter experts, conduct horizon-scanning activities to identify potential products of biotechnology that lack existing or conflicting regulatory risk assessment pathways, and identify foci for capstone projects that will be undertaken by pairs of fellows.

This is a scientist-run website for career advice to STEM trainees. It’s “Help, I’m a Scientist!” (Link 1), supported by an NIH Institutional Development Award. The articles are written by scientists who take mentorship and trainee career development seriously. The topics cover everything from how to choose a research group, analyze literature, pick research topics, write papers, and present work, to keeping a healthy work/life balance, and much more. There's even a section on humor in academia!
The scientists running the website would also love submissions (Link 2) from trainees, faculty, and anyone working in higher education. (less)

Position Summary
The Ryu Lab in the Department of Cell Biology at UT Southwestern is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow.
Our research focuses on how metabolic pathways are organized across molecular, organellar, and cellular scales. We are particularly interested in how enzyme clustering, mitochondrial heterogeneity, and inter-organelle interactions control metabolic flux and support cellular adaptation in physiological and disease contexts, including cancer.

Research Areas
Projects in the lab broadly address:
• Regulation of metabolic flux through enzyme clustering and filament formation
• Functional heterogeneity of mitochondria and subcellular metabolic specialization
• Organelle interactions (e.g., ER–mitochondria contacts) in metabolic control
• The role of mitochondrial DNA variation in metabolic adaptation and tumor progression
The lab integrates advanced live-cell imaging, biochemical approaches, and metabolic flux analysis, with opportunities to incorporate structural biology (cryo-EM), proteomics, and computational analysis.

Qualifications
• PhD in cell biology, biochemistry, metabolism, or related field
• Motivated and productive individual interested in pursuing a career in the field of cell biology, biochemistry, and metabolism.
• Experience in one or more of the following is welcome:
a. Fluorescence microscopy or live-cell imaging
b. Metabolism or mitochondrial biology
c. Biochemistry or enzymology
d. Structural biology
e. CRISPR-based genome engineering
• Ability to lead projects while contributing to a collaborative lab environment

What We Offer
• A highly supportive and collaborative research environment
• Access to state-of-the-art core facilities (imaging, metabolomics, cryo-EM)
• Strong mentorship with an emphasis on career development
• Opportunities to develop independent research directions
• Competitive salary and benefits

Application Instructions
Please submit the following:
1. Curriculum vitae
2. Cover letter or brief statement of research interests
3. Names and contact information for three references
Applications should be sent to:
keunwoo.ryu@utsouthwestern.edu

About UT Southwestern
UT Southwestern Medical Center is a leading institution for biomedical research and training. The campus is home to a distinguished community of scientists, including 6 Nobel laureates, 25 members of the National Academy of Sciences, and 14 Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. With a strong emphasis on fundamental discovery and translational impact, UT Southwestern provides an exceptional environment for scientific innovation. Dallas offers a vibrant, diverse, and affordable setting with a rapidly growing biomedical research community.

About The PI
Keun received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the laboratory of W. Lee Kraus, where he studied how NAD? metabolism regulates transcription during cell differentiation. He then completed postdoctoral training with Craig Thompson at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where he discovered that cells can generate metabolically distinct mitochondrial subpopulations through higher-order enzyme assembly and mitochondrial fusion and fission dynamics, enabling the coordination of competing metabolic pathways. During his training, he was a Hunter Douglas Breast Cancer Research Fellow and received the Basic Research Innovation Award and the Tri-Institutional Breakout Prize.
In 2025, he joined the Department of Cell Biology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. His laboratory investigates how cellular metabolism is organized by uncovering the principles by which enzyme self-assembly and organelle interactions spatially control intracellular metabolism.
