Hi,
A postdoctoral position and a research staff position are available in the Enemark lab for highly motivated applicants to study the structure and function of helicase proteins and their mechanism of action on nucleic acids. For representative publications, see:
M. Meagher*, L. B. Epling*, E. J. Enemark, “DNA translocation mechanism of the MCM complex and implications for replication initiation”, Nature Communications (2019).
J. M. Miller*, B. T. Arachea*, L. B. Epling, E. J. Enemark, “Analysis of the crystal structure of an active MCM hexamer,” Elife 3:e03433 (2014).
C. A. Froelich*, S. Kang*, L. B. Epling, S. P. Bell#, E. J. Enemark#, “A conserved MCM single-stranded DNA binding element is essential for replication initiation,” Elife 3: e01993 (2014).
Applicants should have recent PhD experience in biochemistry, crystallography, cryoEM, or a related field and possess a strong interest in structural biology. The laboratory is located in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. The department is highly interactive with extensive expertise and interest in fundamental nucleic acids processes. Diverse interactions occur on campus within the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute (https://cancer.uams.edu/). The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute has made sizable investments to strengthen structural biology at UAMS and to make it an integral part of its cancer research programs.
To apply, please visit the UAMS employment website addresses below or email a cover letter, CV with list of publications, and a list of 3 references to: ejenemark@uams.edu
