Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Genome Stability Structural Biology group (Williams Laboratory) of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS/NIH), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Related research projects will investigate structural and functional aspects of DNA repair and maintenance of genome integrity using X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and biochemical methods, with collaborative in vivo analysis of targeted systems.
The Williams group is in the Laboratory (i.e., department) of Structural Biology (LSB) in the Division of Intramural Research, with investigators renowned for their contributions to the area of genome stability, protein-DNA, and protein-RNA structural biology and biochemistry. The exceptional training environment within the LSB is coupled to the strong NIEHS/NIH infrastructure, and offers a highly supportive and interactive scientific environment with many diverse areas of expertise. The group has a fully equipped molecular biology and protein chemistry laboratory and access to superb in house X-ray crystallographic data collection and crystallization robotics equipment. NIEHS is located in an especially attractive part of North Carolina that is central to prominent research institutions, and within driving distance of the beautiful North Carolina coast to the East and the Appalachian mountains to the West. Applicants must possess a doctoral level degree. While candidates with less than five years of relevant postdoctoral research experience are eligible, recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Experienced applicants with skills in molecular biology, protein chemistry, and/or backgrounds in protein structure are preferred. Motivated individuals looking to expand their skill set to include crystallographic methods are also encouraged to apply. Starting postdoctoral salary is $46,800, plus medical benefits.
