Postdoctoral Fellowship, High Throughput Kinetics (Biotech)
The Molecular Enzymology Division of New England Biolabs (NEB) is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow who will lead the development of a high throughput kinetics platform for monitoring binding kinetics in nucleic acid modification enzymes. The successful applicant will be responsible for performing kinetic analysis of protein:protein interactions. The candidate will also monitor the effect of molecular switches in regulating enzyme binding functions to DNA and other proteins. Research will be undertaken in a highly collaborative and intellectually open environment where oral communication of ideas and publication of results are expected.
Primary Responsibilities:
High throughput enzyme assay design and validation.
Kinetic analysis of on-rate and off-rate.
Computational management of large kinetic datasets.
Collaborate with investigators at NEB and in academia.
Communicate findings to the scientific community through publications and presentations.
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in enzyme biochemistry or related field.
Protein expression and purification skills.
A strong foundation in enzyme biochemistry and kinetics.
A strong foundation in functional assay design.
Experience in large data analysis and kinetic simulation.
Strong analytical skills.
Strong desire to learn new skills and to expand the scopes of the research through internal and external collaborative efforts.
Strong record of scientific publication.
Strong interpersonal skills.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with analytical chemistry techniques such as HPLC and MS.
Experience with Computational tools.
Desire to mentor student interns.
Willingness to learn and master new techniques
This position offers exciting opportunities for broad research training, collaboration with academic institutions, publishing in peer-reviewed journals and participation in national and international conferences.
