The role involves protein purification, reconstitution, and structure determination of DNA-protein complexes using cryoEM. Additionally, you will help to develop functional biochemical assays to assess and determine the mechanism of action of various multi-subunit protein complexes. You will be highly encouraged to think deeply about the biological problem, make significant intellectual contributions to the chosen research project, and work closely with other team members. It is an exceptional opportunity to pursue basic and drug-discovery questions in a well-resourced biotechnology environment.

Why join us?
