Our group has an opening for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow, to study the structure of mammalian ZP domain-containing proteins that mediate egg-sperm interaction at the beginning of fertilization. Parallel projects on different ZP domain proteins are also available. For further information, see Monné et al. Nature 456:653-657 (4 December 2008) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19052627] and Han et al. Cell 143:404-415 (29 October 2010) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20970175], as well as our web site [http://jovinelab.org].
The candidate must have significant experience in all aspects of macromolecular crystallography, from DNA cloning to structure refinement. Previous experience with protein expression using mammalian and/or insect cells, as well as familiarity with extracellular matrix proteins, will be an advantage. A good publication record in international journals, fluency in english and a strong personal drive to excel in science are required. To apply for this position, please send your full application including motivation letter, CV and the names and addresses of three referees to Luca Jovine ([email protected]). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Luca Jovine, Ph.D. Group Leader & EMBO Young Investigator Karolinska Institutet Department of Biosciences and Nutrition & Center for Biosciences Hälsovägen 7, SE-141 57 Huddinge, Sweden Voice: +46.(0)8.6083-301 FAX: +46.(0)8.6081-501 E-mail: [email protected] W3: http://jovinelab.org ----------------------------------------------------------------
