1-2 Postdoctoral Researchers in Single-Molecule Studies of Chromatin Complexes at Uppsala University

The position is available within Sebastian Deindl's research group (www.deindl-lab.com), an international research team that provides a stimulating and friendly environment for scientists with a genuine interest in tackling important biological questions. Within the framework of an ERC starting grant, we investigate the molecular mechanisms of chromatin remodeling (for an overview, see Bowman and Deindl, Science 2019) using a highly multidisciplinary approach that combines advanced single-molecule fluorescence imaging (see for example, Sabantsev et al., Nature Communications 2019; Deindl et al., Nature 2014 and Cell 2013) with a range of biophysical, structural, and biochemical techniques.

We are located at the SciLifeLab and the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (ICM) at Uppsala University, one of the most international, interdisciplinary and successful research departments in molecular biosciences in Europe. Read more under http://www.icm.uu.se.

Project description: The position involve carrying out biophysical studies into the mechanisms of chromatin-associated complexes using single-molecule imaging approaches along with complementary biophysical and biochemical techniques. Several exciting projects are available and can be tailored to individual interests and expertise. The postdoctoral researchers will benefit from a custom-built ‘state-of-the-art’ two- and three-color single-molecule FRET microscope, excellent resources, infrastructure, and support as well as collaborators who are international leaders in their fields.
