POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF MULTI-PROTEIN COMPLEXES
Job Description: A position for a crystallographer at the post-doc level
is available in Dr. Kirill Alexandrov’s research group at the
Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Physiology (Dortmund, Germany). The
lab is focused on the development of new approaches for the production
and biophysical analysis of posttranslationally modified proteins and
multiprotein complexes. As the primary model system we use the molecular
machinery regulating intracellular vesicular traffic with an emphasis on
RabGTPase interacting and modifying proteins. As part of the new Systems
Biology program we are currently completing establishment of automated
platform for production of proteins and proteins complexes in
high-throughput format. Details of ongoing research of the laboratory
and recent publications can be found under
http://www.mpi-dortmund.mpg.de/departments/dep3/alexandr_rak/01/01.html
We are seeking a post-doctoral candidate who in conjunction with other
scientists of the institute would supervise a group of initially two
technicians and an engineer to develop new approaches for expressing
proteins and analyzing their interactions using automated
high-throughput protein expression and analysis. Close collaboration
with structural biology and bio-and chemistry units will be a must.
Qualifications & Experience: Candidates should hold a Ph.D. and be able
to demonstrate excellence in molecular biology, protein expression and
purification. Experience in high-throughput methods, directed evolution,
protein engineering and laboratory automation is preferred and an
interest in structural biology is very welcomed.
The position is for 2 years initially. To apply, please send your CV
together with other relevant documents and the names and contact details
of three referees. Closing date is the 15th of January 2007.
