<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We currently have </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Postdoc positions available in our group funded by the Wellcome Trust. Our project</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> focuses
on understanding molecular mechanisms that control the regulation of 3D genome organisation and how they contribute to different aspects of genome function</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. The project is an
interdisciplinary, collaborative and international project involving groups in Imperial College London, the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) Amsterdam, the University of Oxford, and the University of Leicester, UK. We </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">combine
expertise in structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology, model organisms and integrative imaging across scales. The aim is to link atomic structures to molecular mechanisms and organismal function.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We are seeking creative and highly motivated scientists that are keen to work on interdisciplinary projects in an international setting. You should have a PhD degree in structural biology or equivalent
and have a demonstrated record of accomplishment in conducting high quality original research. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Experience in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">protein
biochemistry</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">and single particle cryoEM or xray crystallography, are essential</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">.
Depending on interests, fellows can develop additional skills in cellular imaging using cryoET.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
