| Position Summary | Applicants should be interested in understanding the mechanistic functions of DNA helicases and associated proteins in the maintenance of genome integrity. The Bochman has ongoing projects focusing on: 1) defining the pathways of Fanconi Anemia-independent DNA inter-strand crosslink (ICL) repair, 2) the roles of RecQ and PIF1 family helicases in maintaining telomere length homeostasis, and 3) how post-translational modifications (PTMs) affect PIF1 helicase activities. The lab utilizes a variety of techniques in-house and through ongoing collaborations, including in vitro biochemistry, yeast genetics, next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, structural biology, click chemistry, and single-molecule biochemistry. The postdoctoral researcher will have his/her choice of projects in the three areas listed above, access to hands-on experimental training from Dr. Bochman, his lab, and his collaborators, mentoring for fellowship applications and paper writing, and opportunities to mentor younger researchers. |
