Current position available
Post-doctoral Research Associate in Structural Biology

Applicant is best to have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry or Biophysics, and have demonstrated abilities in either NMR Spectroscopy or X-ray Crystallography. The position is available immediately. The salary is competetive and commensurate with experience.

The successful candidate will focus on the biophysical characterization of factors involved in chromatin regulation. In particular, we are studying the structure and thermodynamics for a series of proteins that interact with the highly conserved eukaryotic histones H3 and H4. Specific post-translational modifications on H3 and H4 recruit unique chromatin-interacting factors, and lead to the control of gene expression. Please look at the publication page for our related manuscripts.

Tools: Multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and X-ray cystallography are used to characterize the high-resolution structure of the proteins and protein-histone complexes. These studies are complemented by thermodynamic characterization of interactions using Fluorescence and Calorimetry.
