Postdoctoral Position to study Molecular mechanisms of DNA interstrand crosslink repair using cryo-EM

 

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and highly motivated person to join a research team of Dr. Martin Cohn at the University of Oxford. The team investigates the molecular mechanisms of DNA interstrand crosslink repair in human cells. Work in the laboratory combines state-of-the-art biochemistry, cell biology, CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering and live-cell imaging as well as cryo-EM structural biology in collaboration with Prof. Catherine Venien-Bryan in Paris.

 

Applicants should possess a Ph.D., or expect to obtain soon, a Ph.D. in a relevant subject and should have relevant research experience in biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology. You will also be highly motivated with good communication skills and have the ability to work as part of a team.

 

This is a full-time post funded by the Medical Research Council from 1 September 2016 for up to 3 years in the first instance, and is based at the Department of Biochemistry, South Parks Road, Oxford.

 

This position is graded on the University's grade 7 scale, for which the salary range is £30,738 - £37,768 per annum. The actual starting salary offered will be based on qualifications and relevant skills acquired and will also be determined by the funding available.
