Postdoctoral and Research Technician

The Strahl lab provides a unique opportunity for inquisitive researchers to study the role of histone post-translational modifications (e.g. acetylation, methylation and ubiquitylation) in chromatin structure and function. We are employing a variety of different approaches (biochemical, genetic and proteomic) to address how these post-translational modifications contribute to gene transcription/DNA repair and the histone code (see Strahl and Allis, Nature 403:41-45, 2000).

We are continually seeking enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals with a strong publication background to join us in this very exciting field of study. A Ph.D. with molecular biology experience is required for the postdoctoral position, and an undergraduate degree with lab research experience is required for the technical position. Additional experience in proteomics, microarray and/or yeast manipulation is preferred.

If you are interested in pursuing research with our lab, please remit your CV or résumé, along with the names of 2-3 references, to Dr. Brian D. Strahl @ brian_strahl@med.unc.edu.
