The Telomere Dynamics Group (TDG) is a new, major initiative, involving eight investigators in Singapore and many collaborators around the globe that was recently awarded a Singapore Ministry of Education Tier3 grant. By bringing together experts using a multitude of complementing disciplines, we aim to understand the structure, function and pathology of telomeres – one of the ‘final frontiers’ of genome biology.
Description
We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral fellows and PhD students with a passion for learning and enthusiasm for engaging in challenging research. The broad scope of the programme and flourishing academic environment at NTU and NUS offer a unique scientific experience, with the possibility for researchers to work with in several different disciplines.
Research themes:
• Telomeric chromatin
• Stability & recognition
• DNA guadruplex dynamics
• In vivo regulation of telomere structure
Disciplines:
• Single molecule techniques
• NMR
• X-ray crystallography
• Electron microscopy
• Live cell imaging
• Cell biology
Principal Investigators:
• Daniela Rhodes
• Curtis A. Davey
• Peter Dröge
• Lars Nordenskiöld
• Sara Sandin
• Anh Tuan Phan
• G.V. Shivashankar
• JieYan
To apply, please send CV and a short statement of research interests by 15 Aug to “The Telomere Tier 3 Programme” at: DR-Tier3-Admin@ntu.edu.sg
PhD intakes are Jan or Aug 2014. Only shortlisted applicants will be informed.
