Staff scientist position is available in the research group of Kristina
Djinovic-Carugo in the Department for Structural and Computational
Biology, Max. F. Perutz Laboratories at the University of Vienna,
Austria. Areas of the group research include structural biology of
F-actin based cytoskeleton, metallo-enzymes involved in protection from
oxidative damage and X-ray induced radiation damage.
The Department for Structural and Computational Biology is equipped with
state of the art instrumentation/facilities to carry out all steps from
cloning, protein expression and purification, to X-ray diffraction,
biomolecular NMR, as well as for a series of biophysical and optical
spectroscopy techniques. The group has in addition access to major
European synchrotron high brilliance X-ray sources.
The successful candidate will help coordinate and support structural
biology research in Djinovic-Carugo group, will assist in the training
and supervision of undergraduate, graduate students and postdocs and
will have responsibilities in lab management (equipment maintenance,
safety) with help of a technical assistant. The staff scientist will be
involved in (but not limited to) conducting laboratory experiments
related to all aspects and steps from sample preparation and
characterisation to crystal growth, X-ray diffraction, structure
solution, analysis and interpretation of scientific data, collaboration
with other scientists and dissemination at external events. S/he will be
able to develop her/his own project in the field of structural biology
of cytoskeleton.
*Qualifications and experience: *a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular
biology, physics, chemistry or a related field is required. Minimum 4-5
years post-doctoral experience in molecular biology, protein expression
in prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems, purification,
crystallisation with robotics and macromolecular crystallography is a
must. Hands-on experience with biophysical techniques and complementary
structural biology methods (e.g. ITC, DLS, SLS, differential scanning
fluorimetry, small angle scattering, FRET, BiFC) will be considered an
advantage. Good communication skills, organizational ability, project
management experience and capacity to interact with other researchers
are essential.
*Contract*: A 6 year contract will be offered to the successful candidate.
*Starting date: *1^st October 2010
*Closing date: *30^th April 2010
