A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Transport at the Institut Pasteur in Paris (France) to study excitatory neurotransmitter transporters. Our work focuses on the structural, energetic and dynamic components of the function of these membrane proteins. To this end, we use X-ray crystallography, calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy and electrophysiology. The lab is in the department of Structural Biology and Chemistry, which hosts state-of-the-art X-ray Crystallography and Biophysics core facilities, and a highly collaborative environment ( http://www.pasteur.fr/ip/easysite/pasteur/en/research/scientific-departments/structural-biology-and-chemistry ).
The candidates should have a strong interest in membrane transport proteins and be willing to take on a challenging multidisciplinary research project. Experience in some of the following areas is expected: molecular biology, protein purification, protein biochemistry, crystallography or electrophysiology. Preference will be given to candidates with less than 2 years of experience after obtaining the Ph.D. The application should contain a single PDF document including: - Letter of intention stating the scientific interests, technical skills, and previous experience of the candidate. - C.V. including date and field of (expected) graduation and list of publications. - The contact information of at least two references. Please, send your electronic application to: [email protected] Nico Reyes, Ph.D. G5 Unit Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Transport Department of Structural Biology and Chemistry Institut Pasteur
