Postdoctoral Fellow-Structural
biology, Halic lab

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to join
the group of Dr. Mario Halic in the Department of Structural Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  The
Halic lab studies the epigenetic regulation of gene expression using genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches. In particular, we study heterochromatin formation and DNA damage repair. We use cryo-EM methodologies to examine
processes involved in chromatin organization and also apply genetics and molecular biology approaches to investigate epigenetic mechanisms involved in these processes. More information about the lab, publications and ongoing projects can be found here:
https://www.stjude.org/research/labs/halic-lab.html 

 

We seek an independent researcher with a PhD and strong
background in molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology to join our group. Preference will be given to applicants who have received their Ph.D. degree within the last 3 years.  

 

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career scientist to
broaden their skill set. You will join a vibrant community at the Department of Structural Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with access to state-of-the-art facilities that enable integrative structural biology and biophysics investigations,
including cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography and NMR, single-molecule imaging, protein-protein interactions, combined with computational and data-science approaches. More information about the department can be found here:
https://www.stjude.org/research/departments/structural-biology.html 

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a highly collaborative research
environment, with numerous institutional shared resources and core facilities.
In addition, postdocs benefit from excellent
salary and benefits package:
