A number of postdoctoral and staff positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Rui-Ming Xu at Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. The main research area of Dr. Xu’s group is on structural studies of regulation of gene expression, at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Current focuses are on: 1) structure and function studies of histone modification enzymes; 2) molecular mechanisms of higher order chromatin structure and remodeling; 3) structural analyses of macromolecular complexes involved in mRNA processing.

 Applicants should send a cover letter indicating the type of positions to be considered, and names and contact information of two to three referees, and a copy of their CV to the following email address:　hlchen@moon.ibp.ac.cn. IBP has a stimulating and interactive academic environment, and offers a competitive compensation and benefits package. Individuals with background in structural biology, biochemistry, molecular/cell biology will be given preferential considerations.
