{"title": "Postdoctoral Position in Biophysics", "description": "Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Harvard University in the field of biophysics. The successful candidate will work in Prof. Mara Prentiss' group, performing experimental studies of RecA family protein mediated homologous recombination in collaboration with groups in the Biology Department at Northeastern University and the IBPC in Paris.

Research Focus

The collaboration uses a multi-disciplinary approach to understand how double strand breaks are repaired, and how that repair process provides insight into self-assembling systems. The postdoctoral scholar will carry out research related to DNA protein interactions monitored using bulk and single molecule techniques.

Responsibilities
  1. Design and execute in vitro and in vivo experiments
  2. Perform bacterial culture for protein expression and cloning
  3. Purify proteins using chromatography systems
  4. Characterize proteins using SDS-PAGE, UV-Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy
  5. Run in vitro and cellular assays to evaluate protein activity
Requirements

Candidates should have basic training in molecular and cellular biology and biochemistry techniques. Experience in designing and executing in vitro and in vivo experiments is required. The appointment is contingent upon completion of a Ph.D.

How to Apply

Applications should be submitted to Barbara Drauschke, and consist of a letter of application, CV, and a statement of research interest. Applicants should also send a statement of the applicant's previous or proposed efforts to improve diversity in science. Three letters of recommendation from senior scientists who know your work are also required.
