All About You

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN BIOPHYSICS & STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY OF DNA REPAIR & RECOMBINATION ENZYMES 

One postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Prof. Edwin Antony at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. We are looking for a motivated researcher who will strive to carry out projects that decipher the molecular underpinnings of enzyme complexes. The ideal candidate for the position will have a strong background in in vitro  biochemistry using recombinantly purified protein complexes. Experience in either single-molecule biophysics, structural biology (especially cryo-EM microscopy), enzyme kinetics (stopped flow fluorescence), molecular biology and/or biochemistry of protein-nucleic acid interactions is required.  

Saint Louis University School of Medicine provides ample opportunities for cutting edge, interdisciplinary and collaborative research. In addition, multiple-collaborative opportunities exist with researchers at the neighboring Washington University in St. Louis. Saint Louis City is also a delightful and affordable town to live in and raise a family with free admissions to parks, zoos, and museums. Saint Louis is also one of the fastest growing biotech and biopharmaceutical cities in the USA and filled with career opportunities and thus is an excellent environment for postdoctoral studies.
