2 Postdoctoral Research Positions in Molecular Biology/Biophysics 1255 views

The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (ICM) at Uppsala University invites application for up to 2 Postdoctoral Research Positions in Molecular Biology/Biophysics.

Tasks and Responsibilities:

• to develop and apply novel single-molecule microscopy methods to study the regulation and function of nucleic-acid interacting proteins
• a stimulating research environment where a major focus is on the mechanisms of nucleic-acid interacting enzymes whose aberrant function is associated with severe diseases such as cancer
• combine high-resolution single-molecule investigations with biochemical experiments to study sequence-specific search kinetics in order to decipher the regulatory genetic codes

Duration: initially for 01 year; good possibilities for extension

Requirements:

• Applicant must have some experience in Molecular biology (projects related to understanding the dynamic regulation of DNA-interacting protein machines).
• Creative and self-motivated personality with interest in fundamental science
• Excellent problem solving skills; good team working skills
• PhD in relevant subject area and excellent communication skills in English

Qualification desired:

• Evident experience of solving complex scientific or technical problems in at least one of the related areas.

Applications:

Application must include:

• Cover letter (max 1 page)
• CV including list of publications
• 3 references with Names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers
• Other information
