Dear colleagues, My lab is looking to hire a postdoc with a biochemistry/biophysics/structural biology background to study the dynamics of nucleic acid-interacting protein machines using single-molecule FRET, please see ad below.
Sebastian Visualize the real-time dynamics of nucleic-acid interacting protein machines Postdoc position at Uppsala University, Sweden The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (ICM) at Uppsala University is one of the most international, interdisciplinary and successful research departments in molecular biosciences in Europe. The department’s research ranges from cell biology to photonics. This postdoc position will be in the Deindl lab (http://deindlab.com), in the Computational and Systems Biology program. Starting date: As soon as possible. Description of area/assignment: We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow who will carry out biophysical studies into the mechanisms of DNA- and RNA-interacting protein machines using single-molecule FRET along with complementary biophysical, biochemical, and structural tools. Several ambitious projects are available and can be tailored to individual interests and expertise. Research in the Deindl laboratory is directed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of nucleic-acid interacting protein machines that regulate gene expression or directly alter the genetic information. The lab uses a highly multidisciplinary approach by combining state-of-the-art single-molecule fluorescence imaging with a range of biophysical, structural, and biochemical techniques. Qualifications required: Applicants should possess a PhD in the life sciences/biophysics and a strong background in biochemistry or single-molecule biophysics. Experience in purifying and working with RNA- and DNA-interacting enzymes is highly desirable. Good English language skills are essential. Applications and informal queries about the lab or ongoing projects should be sent to Sebastian Deindl. Applications are expected to include a letter of motivation briefly stating research interests and expertise, a CV, and the contact information for at least two referees. ================================= Sebastian Deindl, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Program for Computational and Systems Biology Uppsala University Email: sebastian.dei...@icm.uu.se<mailto:sebastian.dei...@icm.uu.se> Web: http://deindlab.com
