Postdoctoral research position and Ph.D. position in Structural Biology
A postdoctoral research position and a Ph.D. position in structural biology are
available in the newly established group of Marina Mapelli at the
IFOM-IEO Campus
in Milano (http://www.ifom-ieo-campus.it/research/mapelli.php).
The main interest of the group focuses on the structural and functional aspects
of protein complexes governing spindle orientation in asymmetrically
dividing cells.
Postdoctoral research position
I am seeking a motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow with interests in
structural biology and in mechanisms underlying protein functioning
in cellular processes.
Applicants should have recently obtained a Ph.D. in biochemistry or
equivalent qualification in a
relevant research area. Some experience in recombinant multi-protein
complex reconstitution,
enzymology or x-ray crystallography is desirable.
Ph.D. position
Ph.D. candidates should have terminated their university degree in
Life Science disciplines
(preferably Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry). Some hands-on
experience in biochemistry
or structural biology would be advantageous, but not required.
Willingness to study protein
functions with biochemical and biophysical methods, as well as
interest in learning protein
crystallography is essential.
The Ph.D. position is within the SEMM 'Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine' programme
(http://www.semm.it/).
The Structural Biology Department of the IFOM-IEO Campus is equipped with the
state-of-the-art apparatus for protein purification and
crystallization, including
a nanodrop crystallization robot and an automated imaging system, and has good
access to the synchrotron beamlines. Successful candidates will
benefit from a stimulating
and collaborative environment within the Campus
(http://www.ifom-ieo-campus.it/).
Postdoc applicants should send their enquiries by e-mail to Marina Mapelli
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). They should also ask two referees to
send letters of recommendation at the same electronic address.
Ph.D. candidates should apply to the SEMM Ph.D. school within
September 21, 2008
(see guidelines at http://www.semm.it/appli_mm.php).
