Postgraduate Associate in Biochemistry/Structural Biology at Yale

The Bleichert lab (https://www.bleichertlab.org/) in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (MB&B) at Yale University is looking for an enthusiastic, goal-driven, and team-oriented postgraduate associate.  

Our lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms that control the initiation of DNA and chromatin replication and how they are deregulated in cancer. We are particularly excited to visualize the molecules involved in these events at high resolution and to understand their biophysical properties and functions using a combination of biochemistry, structural biology, and biophysics.

We offer a dynamic and stimulating work environment for conducting cutting-edge research and for facilitating your career development. We will provide numerous opportunities for advancing your research and science communication skills. In return, we ask that you are excited and highly motivated to do research and that you are eager to learn the scientific workflow.

This position is ideal for a recent or soon to be college graduate with a major in any biology-oriented STEM field. Prior research experience is not required but advantageous. The initial appointment will be for one year (flexible start date) with the possibility of extension for a second year depending on performance.

If you are interested, please send your CV and a brief cover letter describing your research interests and goals for this postgraduate training to Franziska Bleichert (franziska.bleichert@yale.edu).
