Dear all,
We are looking for an enthusiastic graduate student and postdoctoral
fellow to join Prof. Mario Halic group
(http://www.halic.genzentrum.lmu.de/) at the Gene Center of University
of Munich, Germany.
The main focus of the laboratory is studying mechanism of
heterochromatin formation. We combine functional studies on the systemic
level with genetic, biochemical and structural approaches, to work
towards a mechanistic understanding of heterochromatin formation.
The successful candidate will employ cryo-EM to address fundamental
questions in heterochromatin formation and spreading. For example how
the conserved Heterochromatin Protein 1 interacts with nucleosomes to
facilitate heterochromatin spreading and compaction. We have already
assembled multiple complexes involved in heterochromatin formation and
collected preliminary cryo-EM data. Candidate will have access to
existing samples and would continue on some of the started projects.
The successful applicant will become part of a truly multi-disciplinary
group and will also benefit from colleagues using primarily genetic,
genomic and biochemical approaches.
The positions are available as a fixed term contract for 2 years in the
first instance with possible extensions. Enquiries should be directed to
Mario Halic ([log in to unmask]).
Best wishes,
Prof. Dr. Mario Halic
Gene Center and Department of Biochemistry
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Feodor-Lynen-Strasse 25
