Postdoc position available!
Newly funded laboratory „Single-molecule biophysics of DNA repair“ opens position for postdoc available from 1st October 2017. The position is fully funded for 2 years (4 500PLN/net income) with the possibility of extention for additional year. The project is focusing on understanding of DNA repair, both in vitro and in vivo, of nucleotide excision repair pathway in bacteria. Methodology is mostly based on cutting-edge single-molecule technologies including single-molecule FRET and super-resolution microscopy. The project is the collaboration between laboratories in Poznan University (Department of Physics), International Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology in Warsaw and Oxford University (Department of Biochemistry). Majority of time applicants will spend in Poznan (Poland), however frequent visits to Warsaw and Oxford (UK) are planned.
PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology or biophysics is required and any experience in single-molecule technologies would be an advantage. Applicants expecting to obtain PhD shortly are encouraged to apply. Closing date: 25.09.2017
If interested, please contact directly (CV and covering letter) the head of the project: dr Pawel Zawadzki (
