*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION *

Interested individuals in this postdoctoral position should be familiar with protein chemistry. Integration of the retrovirus DNA genome into the host chromosome requires the retrovirus integrase. Emphasis of study will be to understand the protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions involved in assembly of macromolecular complexes capable of mediating the retrovirus integration process. A variety of biochemical and molecular techniques, including DNA cloning and sequencing, site-directed mutagenesis, protein expression in bacterial cells, protein purification, and biophysical measurements will be employed.
