Washington University in St. Louis is Hiring a Senior Scientist - Biochemistry Near St Louis, MO
Scheduled Hours

Position SummaryThe Galletto Lab in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis has an immediate opening for a Senior Scientist position.
Our research strives to understand how DNA helicases promote progression of DNA replication through sites that are difficult to replicate, thereby contributing to maintenance of genomic stability. During each cell cycle, DNA replication needs to overcome multiple obstacles, such as DNA-bound proteins, DNA secondary structures, and damaged DNA. In this context, one specific focus of our research is to understand how the Pif1-family of helicases, conserved from yeast to metazoans, aid DNA replication across barriers in general, but particularly at telomeres, which are known to impede replication and whose integrity is fundamental to genome stability.
Collaborates on designing, conducting and reporting of research projects.
