The NIH funded Postdoctoral Associate position is opened in the laboratory of Dr.Sergey Korolevat the Edward A. Doisy Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine to study structural basis and molecular mechanisms of DNA repair and recombination. The main project is focused on the novel mechanism of nucleic acid strand exchange and phase separation by the intrinsically disordered tumor suppressor PALB2 (Partner and Localizer of BRCA2) (eLife, 2019,8:e44063; BioRxiv, 2023.06.01.543259v4). The Department hosts numerous state-of-the-art facilities from X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy to single molecule microscopes microTIME200 (Picoquant) and C-Trap (Lumicks) with an access to the Center for Cellular Imaging and cryo-EM facilities at Washington University in St. Louis. The Korolev Laboratory is a member of the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center with an outstanding network of research expertise and facilities. Additional collaborative projects are focused on cryo-EM and X-ray structural analysis of macromolecular complexes. We are seeking highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, chemistry, or molecular biology. Experience in one of the fields including structural biology, biophysics, single molecule spectroscopy, molecular biology, or biochemistry is required.
