Molecular Cell biology - DNA damage responses : Research Triangle Park, NC, United States

Postdoctoral Position at the NIH
Molecular Cell biology – DNA damage responses

A postdoctoral position is 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. We are seeking a postdoctoral scientist with a strong track record in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology (yeast and/or mammalian systems). The selected individual will work as part of our multidisciplinary team employing cell biology, structural biology (eg. X-ray crystallography and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and biochemical methods to investigate mechanisms of the maintenance of genome stability. The group has a fully equipped molecular biology, cell culture, and protein chemistry laboratory, and ready access to confocal microscopy, FACS, mass-spectrometry, X-ray crystallographic data collection and crystallization facilities.

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 biology, structural biology and biochemistry. The exceptional training environment is coupled to the strong NIEHS/NIH infrastructure, and offers a highly supportive and interactive scientific environment with many diverse areas of expertise. NIEHS is located in an especially attractive part of North Carolina that is central to prominent research institutions, and within driving distance of the North Carolina coast to the East and the Appalachian mountains to the West.
