Job Summary:
Looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong interest in
integrated approaches to problems in structural biology. The lab has
extensive crystallographic and spectroscopic resources, and is part of
the W.M. Keck Center for Chromatin Structure and Function.
Principal Responsibilities:
Investigate
the structure, function, and dynamic properties of eukaryotic
chromatin, using a wide variety of biochemical, biophysical and in vivo
approaches.
Investigate how cellular or viral factors interact
with histones, nucleosomes, or chromatin and how these interactions may
lead to cancer or other diseases.
Use multipronged approaches
such as x-ray crystallography, small angle x-ray scattering, atomic
force microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, analytical
untracentrifugation, and methods in mechanistic biochemistry/molecular
biology as well as genetic approaches to understand the mechanism by
which structural transitions in chromatin occur.
Preferred Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics or an appropriately
related field.
Researchers with a strong background in biochemistry preferred.
Previous experience with the structure determination of protein/protein and/or
nucleic-acid complexes preferred.
Extensive
biochemical experience with protein purification, functional
characterization, and yeast genetics would be highly valued.?
Applicants should be strongly motivated, ambitious and function well in a
highly collaborative environment.
