VACANCY: Research associate x 2 (MED01698)
Reference: MED01698
Date posted: 27 January 2020
Closing date: 05 March 2020
Two research associate positions are available to study new mechanisms in DNA replication and the epigenetic basis of chromatin structure.
Position 1:
The successful applicant should have expertise in protein biochemistry and structural biology and will employ in vitro reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy to investigate either:
- Novel DNA replication mechanisms, or
- how epigenetics affect chromatin structure.
Position 2:
The successful applicant should have expertise in genomics and proteomics and will employ novel sequencing-based approaches together with proteomics to investigate either:
- Novel mechanisms in the initiation of DNA replication and DNA repair, or
- nucleosome/chromatin organisation and structure at a genome-wide level in order to understand gene regulation in health and disease.
