Dear All, A postdoctoral position is immediately available in Dr. Yang Gao’s lab at Rice University, Houston. The Gao lab utilizes structural biology techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication, repair and recombination. We employ cryo-electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, and various biochemical and biophysical approaches to characterize how enzymes and motors work together to accomplish these elaborate processes (see Gao’s recent publications https://science.sciencemag.org/content/352/6291/1334.short, https://science.sciencemag.org/content/363/6429/eaav7003.abstract and https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=y296jScAAAAJ&hl=en). The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in investigating the structural basis of Mitochondria DNA replication, with cryo-electron microscopy as the major technique. He/She will carry out in vitro reconstitution and biochemical and structural characterizations of the Mitochondria DNA replication system.
Applicants should have a Ph. D. degree in biochemistry, structural biology or related field. Experience in cryo-electron microscopy is a plus but not required. To apply, please email Dr. Yang Gao at [email protected] or apply through http://jobs.rice.edu/postings/20510. Best, Yang ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
