Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Non-Coding Genome Research
Join a leading structural biology team at CEITEC MU to investigate non-canonical nucleic acid structures using advanced NMR spectroscopy.
Best for:Best for structural biologists with expertise in biomolecular NMR and an interest in nucleic acid dynamics.
Overview
The Non-Coding Genome Research Group at the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join their structural biology team. The project focuses on developing NMR methodologies to explore the conformational landscapes of non-canonical nucleic acid structures, such as G-quadruplexes and i-motifs. The successful candidate will integrate 19F NMR with various biophysical assays to study structural dynamics and ligand interactions in both in vitro and intracellular environments. This role offers an opportunity to work in a highly translational research environment with access to state-of-the-art high-field NMR spectrometers.
What you'll do
- Develop and apply advanced NMR methodologies to study nucleic acid conformational landscapes.
- Conduct experiments integrating 19F NMR with complementary biophysical assays.
- Investigate structural equilibrium, dynamics, and ligand-binding interactomes of non-canonical DNA/RNA.
- Collaborate with team members and contribute to the interdisciplinary research environment.
- Prepare research findings for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
- Participate in grant writing and seek independent funding opportunities.
Requirements
Degree required: PhD in structural biology, chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field.
Language: English proficiency required for research and communication.
Instruction: English
Publications: Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
- Documented research experience in structural biology.
- Expertise or strong interest in biomolecular NMR spectroscopy.
- Proven track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a research team.
- Must hold a PhD degree or equivalent.
