We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply. Position Function This grant-supported postdoctoral position involves in developing CRISPR-based genome editing. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experiences in Single-molecule, biochemistry and cryo-EM (or X-ray crystallography). There is routine access to single-molecule and 200 and 300 keV electron microscopes. The trainee will interact on a day-to-day basis with peers in the areas of genome editing and single molecule biophysics. We aim to provide an interdisciplinary training environment to efficiently convert high-resolution mechanistic understandings to novel genome editing applications. Anticipated Division of Time Main theme of the lab is to understand the underlying mechanism of RNA-guided processes inside the cell.
Requirements Candidates are expected to have published at least one first-author paper in a reputable journal and hold a Ph.D. Strong background in Single-molecule Biophysics, single particle cryo-EM (or X-ray crystallography), is capable of carrying out macromolecular structure determination independently.
