Your Responsibilities
The Bernecky group aims to uncover critical mechanisms of RNA regulation during and after transcription. We use purification, reconstitution, and biochemical and structural analysis (particularly cryo-EM) to characterize protein-nucleic acid complexes and investigate their function.

This will include the following tasks:
- Molecular cloning (design and preparation of plasmids)
- Protein expression in insect and mammalian cells
- Protein purification, quantification, and quality control
- Optimization and performance of biochemical and biophysical assays
Your Profile
- Masters or PhD degree in biochemistry or a related subject
