postdoc positions available

[Mason.Jim]

Postdoc research opportunities in telomeric chromatin structure

Two postdoctoral positions are available at the NIEHS under the joint direction
of J.M. Mason and T.K. Archer to investigate chromatin structure at Drosophila
telomeres. Studies will examine nucleosome modification and positioning in the
presence of mutations that specifically relieve telomeric silencing, as well as
the functions and intreactions of proteins encoded by genes identified by these
mutations. Candidates should have a broad knowledge of molecular biology with an
emphasis on protein biochemistry and/or chromatin structure. Knowledge of
Drosophila genetics will also be advantageous. Applicants must have a PhD, MD or
equivalent and less than five years of postdoctoral experience.
