Postdoctoral Researcher in Structural Biology of Genome Regulation

Jobs in Structural Biology and Related Fields Postdoctoral Researcher in Structural Biology of Genome Regulation

University of Leicester, United Kingdom

We are seeking outstanding Postdoctoral Researchers to join a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award-funded project investigating the structural mechanisms underlying genome regulation. The successful candidates will apply cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and integrative structural biology approaches to study regulatory protein complexes central to genome regulation.
The positions are based within a highly collaborative university and research institute environment, offering access to excellent cryo-EM facilities and strong international partnerships. These roles provide an exceptional opportunity to work at the interface of structural biology and genome regulation, addressing fundamental biological questions using cutting-edge methodologies.

The position is offered on a fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension subject to funding. The post holder will benefit from access to outstanding cryo-EM facilities, excellent research support, and an internationally connected research environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Applying cryo-EM and integrative structural biology approaches to study regulatory protein complexes
• Contribute to experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation
• Work collaboratively within an international research network
• Disseminate results through high-quality publications and presentations
