A DOE-supported postdoctoral position is available to participate in a project investigating basic mechanisms in oxygenic photosynthesis.
The major objective is to define the transcriptional regulatory circuitry controlling inorganic carbon assimilation and determine its integration with light reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis in the experimental model Synechocystis sp PCC6803.These molecular genetic issues will be studied in context of detailed biophysical and biochemical analyses in order to connect genetic regulatory mechanisms with bioenergetic and nutrient functions.
Therefore the project will involve the parallel use of advanced molecular genetic analyses to probe gene expression along side with decisive biochemical and biophysical analyses to evaluate the functional precursors and consequences, affecting and responding to changes in gene expression.
A Ph.D. and a strong background in biochemistry and/or molecular biology are required.Experience with biophysical assays of photosynthesis is desirable.Preferences will be given to individuals with proven records of quality publications and to those with potentials to obtain independent funding.
