Description
Post-doctoral positions to study the function of DEAD-box RNA helicasesare available in the laboratory of Dr. Chaitanya Jain at the Universityof Miami in Florida, USA. The focus of the lab is on prokaryotic RNAmetabolism, with particular emphasis on the role of RNA helicases andribonucleases. We are seeking motivated individuals with experienceworking on RNA-related projects or using E. coli as a model organism.Miami is a major US city on the south-eastern tip of the United Statesthat offers many attractions and enjoys mild weather year-round.
