Postdoctoral research positions are available to study the structural
biology of genome organization with JJ Miranda at the University of
California, San Francisco. We hope to understand how chromatin is
organized in a cell and how this structural architecture is coupled
to the functional regulation of gene expression. Our primary focus is
gene insulation, the phenomenon by which promoters in a given locus
are shielded from the effects of all regulatory sequences in a cell
except for those within the locus itself, thus resulting in an
autonomously functioning genetic element. We attempt to combine
structural methods (EM, x-ray, mass spec) with functional experiments
(cell-based screens and assays) to develop macromolecular movies of
how chromatin controls transcriptional organization. UCSF offers a
unique environment in which to engage such interdisciplinary
research. And the weather is nice. Visit our web site for more
information: http://mirandalab.ucsf.edu. Candidates from all
scientific backgrounds are welcome to apply by sending a CV and names
of references to JJ Miranda ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
