A three-year postdoc position is available. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual interested in biochemistry and structural biology, especially single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography techniques. The post is for three years and will investigate the assembly and regulation of DNA repair enzymes.
The successful candidate will work on a cutting-edge experimental research project in the structure-function analysis and regulation of DNA repair enzymes. The project involves a combination of biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology work. The structural part of the project will involve single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and X-ray crystallography. The role will also include developing research objectives, conducting research, writing research work for publication, and liaising with national and international collaborators.
Our laboratory, which is newly established in Kent, is growing fast. We are well-equipped with a 120keV electron microscope for single-particle work and have access to eBIC and the University of Leicester for high-end data collection. In addition, the School of Biosciences at Kent houses numerous shared facilities, from NMR and Mass Spectrometry to cell biology and super-resolution imaging.
This 3-year research associate position is available from September 2024, but the start date is flexible. The applicants must have or be about to receive a PhD in a relevant science subject. Candidates should also have some experience in electron microscopy (negative staining and cryo-EM), but training will be provided in this field, offering a unique opportunity for growth and learning. For more information or informal enquiries, please contact Mohinder Pal at M.Pal@kent.ac.uk.
