The Buisson Lab in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Scholar position.

Applications are being sought from independent and motivated postdoctoral candidates interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to address important questions around genomic instability including: DNA damage, DNA repair, transcription and epigenetic control. Applicants must possess a Ph.D. degree to apply and must have one excellent first author publication in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology or a related field from their Ph.D. training period. In addition, expertise in DNA damage/repair, epigenetics and genomics is preferred but not required.

The Buisson lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms that cause DNA damage and genomic instability in cancer as well as the roles of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes in DNA repair processes. These include investigating the mechanisms of DNA double-strand break repair and DNA replication through cellular, biochemical, genetic and structural biology approaches (Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2010; Cell Reports, 2014; Molecular Cell, 2015; Molecular Cell, 2017; Cancer Research, 2017; Science, 2018).
