*Postdoctoral position in structural biology of protein complexes in
nerve development and disease*
Dept. of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska Institute
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Molecular
Structural Biology group at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
(http://phillips.mbb.ki.se/
<https://udcf.gla.ac.uk/horde/services/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fphillips.mbb.ki.se%2F>).
The position is initially available for 1 year with the possibility of
extension to three years.
We are seeking a motivated scientist to join a new research project on
structural and functional studies of protein-protein complexes involved
in nerve cell development and disease. The project focuses on the
characterization of the complexes and their function in the cell. The
experiments will involve a broad range of techniques, such as protein
expression/purification, site-directed mutagenesis, enzyme kinetics, and
various methods of structure determination (X-ray crystallography, EM,
SAXS).
Applicants should have a background in biochemistry or molecular
biology, and possess experience with cloning, protein
expression/purification techniques. Biochemists and molecular biologists
who would like to learn structural biology are encouraged to apply.
Experience in mammalian cell culturing is a plus.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter including CV and names
and e-mail addresses of three references to:
