Post-doctoral position at Lund University

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Dr. Derek Logan at the Department of Molecular Biophysics, Lund University.  The successful applicant will participate in a research project involving the structural and functional study of protein-protein complexes in the extracellular matrix. Previous experience in molecular biology and protein _expression_ is a requirement. It will be considered an advantage to have worked with mammalian _expression_ systems. Experience of macromolecular crystallography is desirable but not essential. The project will involve a combination of crystallography, electron microscopy and biophysical characterisation.

The Department of Molecular Biophysics (http://www.mbfys.lu.se) is a small but lively one, with four research groups involved in macromolecular crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy in a variety of different biological areas. We have frequent access to the MAX-lab synchrotron, ten minutes walk from the Department, with its new MAD beamline, Cassiopeia (http://cassiopeia.maxlab.lu.se). The Department is well equipped for molecular biology and protein _expression_; non-bacterial protein _expression_ is done in collaboration with groups at the Biomedical Centre. Equipment for low volume crystallisation and automatic drop inspection is available at MAX-lab (Tecan Freedom Evo 150, Mosquito and Crystal Pro).

Lund University, with seven faculties and a number of research centres and specialized institutes, is the largest unit for research and higher education in Sweden. Lund University was founded in 1666, partly in order to knit the provinces which had been ceded by Denmark in 1658 closer to Sweden. At present more than 38 000 students are enrolled and altogether some 6000 people are employed. Lund is an attractive university town with a rich cultural life and within one hour by train from Copenhagen.

Enquires and applications should be sent to Dr. Derek Logan at the address below or preferably by e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Starting date: as soon as possible
