Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Structural Biology and Evolution of Chromatin

vor 2 Monaten


Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland Embl-Ebi Vollzeit
Job Description

Research Project Overview

The successful candidate will contribute to a cutting-edge experimental research project focused on the structure-function analysis of chromatin in archaea. The project aims to understand how eukaryotes evolved histone tails and tail-based regulatory mechanisms from an archaeal ancestor, and what role these tails play in proto-eukaryotic chromatin.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and execute experiments to investigate the structural and functional effects of merging tail-less histones of a model archaeon with selected eukaryotic or Asgard histone tails in vitro and in vivo.
  • Conduct biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology work, including cryo-EM single particle analysis of nucleosomes, FIB-milling of archaeal cells, and cryo electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging of chromatin fibres.
  • Collaborate with the laboratory of Naomichi Takemata (Kyoto University) and engage in regular communication and scientific exchange with collaborators.

Requirements

  • PhD in structural biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or related disciplines (or near completion).
  • Experience in cryo-EM/cryo-ET data acquisition and processing.
  • Experience in biochemistry (protein expression & purification, DNA-protein complex characterization).
  • Proficiency in working via command line.
  • Strong interest in the research topic, high motivation, and commitment.
  • Ability to work independently and creatively in an international team with a highly collaborative atmosphere.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, fluency in English.

Desirable Skills

  • Experience in microbiology and handling of anaerobic microorganisms.
  • Basic programming skills.
  • Familiarity with HPC computing.
