View Vacancy -- MRC Postdoctoral Research Scientist LMS 2803

Overview

The Single Molecule Imaging Group works at the intersection of single molecule imaging, biophysics, mechanobiology and cellular biology to explore the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation. The group uses single-molecule fluorescence and mechanical manipulation with optical tweezers to analyse the interaction of proteins and DNA/RNA, elucidate their dynamics and elucidating molecular mechanisms. We use additional interdisciplinary approaches to investigate these mechanisms across scales (from molecules to cells).

Key qualifications

• PhD in Single Molecule Biophysics and/or Biochemistry (or a closely related discipline)
• Excellent skills in single molecule microscopy and biochemistry
• Experience with expressing and purifying multi-subunit protein complexes, and experience with protein purification
• Experience in chromatin array preparation for optical t...
