Semlow Lab Postdoctoral Scholar

Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Daniel Semlow in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. The Semlow lab is broadly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair. We are seeking motivated fellows that will undertake biochemical, genetic, and analytical approaches to elucidate novel pathways in DNA repair. At Caltech, fellows will contribute to an outstanding intellectual environment and enjoy access to state-of-the-art resources and facilities.

Candidates should have a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry or related field and strong record of research productivity. Experience in CRISPR/Cas9 screening or mass spectrometry is a plus, but not required.

Interested applicants should send a CV with a summary of research interests and contact information for three references to Dr. Daniel Semlow (dsemlow@caltech.edu).
