*Postdoctoral Fellow: Structural biology of chromatin modifiers.* A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Karim-Jean Armache, Assistant Professor in the Structural Biology Program at the Skirball Institute of Biomedical Research—NYU Medical Center, New York, USA.We are looking for highly motivated, creative individuals with a strong interest in epigenetics and chromatin biology. We are presently focusing our efforts on chromatin-modifying factors and their complexes with nucleosomes, using X-ray crystallography, complemented with other biochemical/biophysical techniques.
Applicants should have a PhD in biochemistry or biophysics with at least one publication in protein crystallography (including PDB entry). The ability to grow crystals, collect diffraction data and determine/refine protein structures is essential. Experience in the biochemical and biophysical characterization of protein complexes is preferred. The candidate must have an excellent command of oral and written English. Applicants should send a single PDF file containing their CV along with a summary of their previous research experience, accomplishments, and experimental expertise. They should also arrange for 3 letters of reference to be sent directly to Dr. Karim-Jean Armache via e-mail at: kjarma...@gmail.com Deadline for applications: October 30, 2012
