At Novo Nordisk in Denmark we have the following Job opening: For details on how to apply, visit our web page http://www.novonordisk.com/jobs Protein crystallographer The Department of Structure and Biophysical Chemistry is looking for a highly motivated and experienced protein crystallographer to support drug discovery projects within Diabetes Research. The department combines several biophysical and structural biology techniques to characterise proteins and interactions of proteins with their ligands. Our research is applied in areas such as protein formulation, insulin analogue design, improvement of fermentation yield, receptor interaction, and structure based drug design. We are equipped with robotic crystallisation and state of the art X-ray crystallography equipment and have rapid access to synchrotron facilities. Challenges Working within multidisciplinary project teams, you will be responsible for crystallisation, data collection and structure determination of protein ligand complexes and novel insulin analogues. You will also be assisting to improve our work flow and methodology and maintain our crystallography setup. We expect you to be able to plan and perform your own experiments. The work requires extensive interaction with protein biochemists and medicinal chemists. Qualifications You have a Ph.D. and postdoctoral training in Protein Crystallography. Knowledge and experience in all aspects of protein crystal structure determination, from protein crystallisation to refinement, is required. Experience with co-crystallisation of protein-ligand complexes is highly desirable, as is experience in working with project teams to translate crystallographic results to the development of novel drugs against diabetes. Excellent technical writing, presentation, communication, and organisational skills are essential.
