Description
Working with Professor Steve Halford FRS, you will study the nature oflong range communications between distant DNA sites and theprotein-protein interactions that mediate these communications. Thesefundamental processes will be studied by using as test systems therestriction enzymes that cut DNA only after binding two recognitionsites. Your project forms part of a five-year programme that continuesuntil August 2011. You will have, or will soon have, a PhD inBiochemistry or a similar subject. You should be interested inDNA-protein interactions, and preferably have experience in proteininteractions with nucleic acids or with other ligands. The work involvesa range of techniques, from molecular biology to biophysics, but can beadapted to accommodate your own particular strengths and experienceswithin these disciplines.
If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or apermanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevantresearch experience. Further information can be found at www.bristol.ac.uk/personnel/ftc/.
