Postdoctoral Researcher - Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC)
Max Planck Institute of Biophysics
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
About the department
The research group of Eugene Kim at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, focused on the structure and dynamics of chromosomes, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) to study Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes using in vitro single-molecule biophysical methods. The candidate will analyze the structural and dynamic properties of SMC complexes using TIRF-based single-molecule imaging and beyond. A dynamic, enthusiastic, and international team of biophysicists and biochemists will await the candidate, ready to tackle exciting problems related to genome organization and maintenance collaboratively.
