About this position
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate position in the Backman Lab. The project focuses on the systems that anaerobic bacteria in the human microbiome use to protect oxygen-sensitive enzymes from oxidative damage. The successful candidate will biochemically and structurally investigate how metabolic bacterial microcompartments function in association with highly oxygen-vulnerable glycyl radical enzymes.
This opportunity is especially suited to researchers with strong experience in cryo-EM and/or cryo-ET. Additional experience in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology is highly competitive. The lab is looking for a motivated scientist with curiosity about anaerobes, bacterial compartmentalization, and microbial survival in oxygen-exposed or oxidative-stress environments.
The announcer is Lindsey R. F. Backman, Valhalla Whitehead Fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Questions can be directed to [email protected].
The post links to a Workday application page for the Backman Lab postdoctoral opening. No deadline is stated in the post. Relocation assistance is available, but no stipend or tuition information is provided.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
