A postdoctoral position is available in the structural biology group of Dr. Bret D. Freudenthal studying genomic stability and DNA damage processing at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas. The candidate should have experience in structural biology, enzyme kinetics, protein purification, and/or biochemistry. Applicants should have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and ability to conduct research independently and with a team. A detailed notebook and organizational skills will be required. The selected individual will work as part of a team employing multiple structural and biochemical approaches to investigate how genome stability is maintained in response to DNA damage. The group has in lab crystallization facilities with a new x-ray diffraction system that complements molecular biology and protein chemistry laboratories. The lab has ready access to multiple cutting edge core facilities.
The Freudenthal group is in both the department of Biochemistry and Molecular biology, and Cancer Biology. These departments are within the University of Kansas Medical Center-NCI designated Cancer Center with investigators renowned for their contributions to the area of biochemistry, protein-protein interactions, and cancer biology.
