Post-doctoral position in structural biology
University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Start Date: Immediately
Duration: 3 years
Description: A Post-doctoral position in structural biology is available in the Chromatin
biology and Epigenetic group at the Structural Genomics Consortium, University of
Toronto. My group aims to characterize chromatin proteins involved in histone code
"reading" and "writing" by X-ray crystallography in combination with other biochemical
and biophysical techniques, as part of the wider SGC effort on the human genome.
Research in my group is divided into three areas 1)Histone Code "Reading" Proteins (see
Schuetz et al, EMBOJ, 2006; Min et al, NSMB, 2007); 2)Histone Code "Writing"
Proteins; and 3)Structure-Based Drug Discovery. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in
structural biology, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, or a related field with 0-5 years
postdoctoral research experience. Interested candidates are invited to send their CV with
3 references to:jr.min@utoronto.ca.
