Dear CCP4bb
We are interested in recruiting an enthusiastic and talented individual at the post-doctoral level with experience in structural biology and biochemistry to join a
team investigating how complex macromolecular interactions in the human DNA-damage response (DDR) are regulated by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. A range of projects are available in the lab but of particular interest
are recruitment mechanisms that localise DDR complexes to chromatin through post-translational modifications of histones and their interacting proteins. The research will be carried out in the laboratory of Steve Smerdon (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cancer-genomic/smerdon-steve.aspx)
at the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences (ICGS) located within the University of Birmingham Medical School in the UK. Experimental approaches will be highly multi-disciplinary with a focus on structural characterisation using X-ray crystallography and
EM/cryo-EM, and the work will benefit from close interactions with a network of collaborators worldwide and a cluster of world-class laboratories within the ICGS interested in DDR biology.

The position is a full-time post-doctoral appointment with an initial duration of 36 months and salary commensurate with age and experience. Post is available immediately
but start date is negotiable.
