Postdoctoral positions - structural mechanisms of genome maintenance Vanderbilt University
Description Multiple NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Brandt Eichman at Vanderbilt University to study molecular mechanisms of enzymes involved in DNA replication-repair. Projects include (1) repair and tolerance of DNA damage during replication, (2) resolution of stalled replication forks, (3) replication initiation, and (4) base excision repair of interstrand DNA crosslinks. We integrate the tools of structural biology, including cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and computational modeling, with in vitro biochemistry, biophysics, chemical and cell biology, and genetics to investigate the structure-function relationship of DNA processing enzymes and their macromolecular complexes. The environment Lab members are part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary, and inclusive team of investigators and trainees interested in DNA replication and repair. Fellows are trained in multiple disciplines and take advantage of state-of-the-art shared research facilities, including new cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography instrumentation. Scientific growth and professional development opportunities beyond the PI's laboratory are provided by the Genome Maintenance program within the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, the Molecular Biophysics training program within the Center for Structural Biology, and other NIH-supported training grants. The PI's laboratory is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applications from marginalized groups. Vanderbilt University is located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, which is consistently rated as one of the best cities in the US in which to live and work. Stipend Salaries follow the NIH NRSA stipend scale. Additional information on benefits and being a postdoc at Vanderbilt University can be found at https://www.vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/. Applicants A Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related discipline, and at least one first-author publication are required. Experience in cryo-EM, nucleic acid manipulation, and/or single-molecule techniques are highly desirable. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated productivity in protein biochemistry; have excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills; and be willing take research risks and motivated to learn new techniques.
