Postdoctoral positions
A postdoctoral position is available to study DNA damage response signaling and regulation of R-loops. Our research is focused at understanding how cells regulate R-loops to prevent genomic instability. We are currently using biochemical, cell biological, and genomic approaches to investigate how the DNA damage response is activated by R-loops and how it coordinates R-loop resolution. Interested applicants should have a PhD and/or MD degree, and a strong background in either biochemistry, cell biology, or bioinformatics.
To apply, please send a CV with past research experience, a page describing your interest in our research, and contact information of three references.
