Michael Trakselis

Trakselis Laboratory at Baylor University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the MCM8/9 project . The lab studies the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and repair and how these processes can be leveraged for cancer therapeutics , biotechnology , and nanoscale applications . Research in the group spans diverse DNA replication/repair systems across all domains of life and uses interdisciplinary approaches including chemistry , biochemistry , biophysics , molecular biology , genetics , and cell biology . Current interests include mechanisms of DNA unwinding by hexameric helicases, polymerase substitution during translesion synthesis, alternative DNA helicases involved in replication fork progression, and mass spectrometry of protein-DNA complexes. The lab also explores links between recombination, infertility, and cancer. This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a scholarship or studentship. The post does not list a deadline, salary, or funding package, and no specific application portal is included in the text provided. Interested candidates should review the lab website and the linked post for any further instructions and contact details.
