Postdoctoral

A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Paul Babitzke's research lab to study transcription and/or post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in B. subtilis and E. coli.

Requirements

• Experience in gene regulation, in vitro transcription, RNA biochemistry, protein-RNA interaction, protein-protein interaction, and/or bioinformatics analysis of transcriptomics data
• Recent Ph.D. in the Life Sciences
• Ability to explore fundamental mechanisms that control RNA polymerase pausing and termination, regulation of gene expression by transcription attenuation and translational control mechanisms, structural studies of RNA polymerase using cryo-EM, and/or genome-wide approaches to identify novel RNA-based regulatory mechanisms using RNET-seq, Term-seq, and Structure-seq

Benefits

• Paid parental leave
• Tuition reimbursement
