Postdoctoral Fellow in Chromatin Structure, Dynamics, and Drug Discovery at Jagiellonian University

The Małopolskie Centrum Biotechnologii at Jagiellonian University, under the supervision of Professor Curtis A. Davey, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow to join a dynamic international team focused on chromatin structure and dynamics, as well as drug discovery. The research initiative aims to develop next-generation anti-cancer and anti-aging therapeutics targeting novel genomic drug targets. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and implementation of methodologies for detecting small molecule binding and analyzing their effects on protein/DNA assemblies, such as chromatin and nucleosomes. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree and demonstrate relevant scientific achievements, with active participation in scientific life. Essential skills include a strong background in biochemistry, molecular biology, or biophysics, the ability to apply biophysical and biochemical principles, and an understanding of structural biology. Fluency in spoken and written English, a passion for science, self-motivation, and a collaborative attitude are required. Additional experience in protein or nucleic acid overexpression, purification, and characterization, as well as expertise in structural biology, drug discovery, or ligand-macromolecule studies, will be considered advantageous. The position is funded by the National Science Centre, though specific details regarding the stipend or financial package are not provided. The application deadline is March 30, 2026. To apply, candidates should email their application to [email protected] with the subject line: 'ASSISTANT PROFESSOR_K/NCN/477_Your Name - Your Surname'. For more information, refer to the official job announcement and the provided links. Key research areas include chromatin structure, chromatin dynamics, drug discovery, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, and the development of anti-cancer and anti-aging therapeutics. The position offers the opportunity to work in a leading research environment at Jagiellonian University in Poland, collaborating with an international team on cutting-edge genomic research.
