Job
Postdoctoral Fellow - Structural Biology
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
About the position
A fully funded postdoctoral fellowship in structural biology is available to study mechanisms by which chromatin organization influences cellular identity and organismal development. We utilize genetic, cell biological, biochemical, genomics, and structural approaches in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) and mouse (Mus musculus) model systems. NIDDK features world class structural biology labs using state-of-the-art techniques in cryoEM, crystallography, and NMR.
