Job description
The Molecular Biophysics group has openings for several PhD and postdoctoral researchers in the following research projects:
1) Role of torque in DNA-protein interactions*;
2) DNA topology: creation and annihiliation of supercoils*;
3) Dynamic liquid-AFM imaging of a variety of nucleotide-protein interactions**;
4) Single-molecule studies of RNA-protein interactions*;
5) Single-molecule studies of homologous recombination in DNA repair**.
Requirements
University Graduate
The department is looking for outstanding experimentalists to participate in these projects. Experience in biophysics, biology, single-molecule techniques, or nanoscience is needed. The group aims to conduct research at the highest international level; candidates that fit into this environment are invited to apply.
