Post doctoral position available at IGBMC (Illkirch, in the immediate vicinity of Strasbourg, France)
A post-doctoral position (2 years) is immediately available in the Department of Structural Biology and Genomics of IGBMC. Candidates are invited to participate in a challenging project with impact on human health.
The project consists of a structural investigation of a small non coding RNA molecule which is involved in transcription regulation in eukaryotes. The aim is to give a structural basis to deciphering the role of that RNA molecule, which acts as a switch tuning the activity of a transcription factor, or as a scaffold for coordinated assembly of nuclear ribonucleic acid particles.
Candidates should have experience in structural investigation, either in X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, or small-angle X-ray/neutron scattering, and should be interested in combining these techniques to tackle large complexes.
The candidate will enjoy the stimulating environment of the new IGBMC extension, the Centre Européen de Biologie Structurale, where the project will benefit from direct access to the Structural Biology and Genomics Platform at IGBMC for cloning, expression and crystallization and where the structural facilities are located (Rigaku diffractomer with Micromax 007-HF generator and Saturn 944 CCD detector, and a Tecnai20 field-emission gun electron microscope.
