Postdoctoral or Research Assistant Positions in Structural Biology of pre-mRNA Splicing
University of Rochester Medical School
Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Location: Rochester, NY, USA
Start Date: Flexible
Website: http://dbb.urmc.rochester.edu/bcbp/members/faculty/Kielkopf_Clara.html
A postdoctoral or research assistant position is available to study the structural biology of pre-mRNA splicing in The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Rochester. This NIH funded position supports a project to understand the structural and biophysical basis of pre-mRNA splice site recognition in normal and diseased cells.
The environment for biophysics and structural biology at the school is outstanding, with instruments for X-ray crystallography, calorimetry, circular dichroism, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, and surface plasmon resonance. Moreover, the city of Rochester offers a pleasant cultural setting for work and home life.
The ideal applicants will have a recent PhD or MD degree, a strong academic record, research experience in the biological, chemical, or physical sciences, and fluent English language skills. Previous experience with pre-mRNA splicing or biophysics is preferred. Outgoing, friendly personalities preferred!
To apply, please e-mail a statement of research interests, CV and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Clara Kielkopf, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Informal inquiries are also welcome.
Thank you!
