Kind regards, Natalie Zhao CCP4 Group -------------------------- Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structural Biology EMBL site: EMBL Grenoble Commencing date: January 2010 Job description: The Berger laboratory at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Grenoble, France seeks to recruit an outstanding postdoctoral scientist in structural biology with a research focus directed towards the structure of macromolecular assemblies. The major theme within the group is the structural molecular biology of multiprotein complexes in gene expression. For this purpose, we are also very active in the development and implementation of advanced and automated recombinant expression technologies such as the MultiBac and ACEMBL systems (Berger et al., Nature Biotechnol. 2004, Fitzgerald et al., Nature Methods 2006, Bieniossek et al., Nature Methods 2009). More information can be obtained from http://www.embl.fr/research/unit/berger/index.html. The laboratory is well-situated in a structural biology environment at the Polygone Scientifique in Grenoble. Access to synchrotron X-ray radiation (ESRF), and also to modern biophysical instrumentation (surface plasmon resonance, dynamic light scattering, isothermal calorimetry, and analytical ultracentrifugation) is provided. Complementary collaborations with leading laboratories in the field are in place. Qualifications and experience: We are looking for candidates who hold a Ph.D. in biochemistry or a related field, with a strong background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry. The ideal applicant has experience in guiding structure determination projects from start to finish; experience in expressing and purifying protein complexes and/or X-ray crystallography would be advantageous. The candidate is a highly motivated individual who enjoys working in a collaborative and multidisciplinary team. Good communication and interpersonal skills are further required. Contract: An initial contract of 2 years will be offered to the successful candidate. This can be renewed depending on circumstances at the time of review. Closing date: 14 December 2009 Download: Description for this position EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation. Please note that EMBL does not return CVs or attached documents to applicants. To apply please email a detailed CV, a statement of research interests and names (incl. e-mail address) of three potential referees by email quoting ref. no.
