Job Details

Under the leadership of Dr Basil Greber, we are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Training Fellow to join the Structural Biology of DNA Repair Complexes team to perform structural and functional studies of nucleotide excision repair (NER), a key DNA repair pathway in eukaryotic cells.
This is an exciting opportunity where you will reconstitute functional DNA repair complexes, determine of their structures by cryo-EM, and collaborate with other groups to test structure-based hypotheses experimentally and obtain new functional insight into the molecular mechanisms of NER.
You will have access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM facilities with an in-house Glacios microscope equipped with a Falcon 4i direct detector and access to Titan Krios microscopes via the LonCEM consortium and the eBIC facility at the Diamond Light Source. The division also hosts facilities for expression of protein complexes in advanced expression systems such as insect cells as well as a range of instruments for their biophysical characterisation.
