Post-Doctoral Research Fellow : Structural Biology of DNA Single-strand Break Repair
(Ref 1739)


A Post-doctoral position funded by Cancer Research UK is available from 1st October 2019 in the laboratory of Prof. Laurence Pearl FRS and Dr. Antony Oliver in the Genome Damage and Stability Centre at the University of Sussex, to study the structure and mechanism of multi-protein complexes involved in the recognition and repair of DNA single-strand breaks and gaps, primarily using single particle reconstruction by cryo-electron microscopy.

Based in the School of Life Sciences, the Genome Damage and Stability Centre, is an internationally renowned Institute carrying out research on the response of cells to DNA damage, genome instability and its relationship to disease.

Recent work from the Pearl and Oliver groups and an overview of research in the Genome Damage and Stability Centre can be found at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/gdsc/researchgroups
