Post-doctoral and PhD positions available in the group of Titia K. Sixma, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam
We are looking for motivated enthousiastic researchers with strong experience in X-ray crystallography and protein biochemistry. Projects are focussing on ubiquitin conjugation processes in DNA regulation, where we study the roles of E3 ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes. Aims are to reconstitute larger complexes in vitro and study structural and functional aspects of the basic enzymatic activities and correlate these to cellular function. The NKI is well-established as a center of excellence for cancer research, with strong genetics, cell biology and structural biology. The institute is highly interactive and is well set up with strong core facilities. For structural biology we share equipment between the Sixma and Perrakis labs and the protein facility . Setup is excellent for biochemistry, biophysics (ITC, Malls, stopped flow, SPR, fluorescence etc) and X-ray crystallography. Amsterdam is a very livable city with many cultural amenities. The institute is located within a 20 minute tram or bicycle ride from the center of Amsterdam and within 20 minutes from Schiphol airport by car, bus or bicycle. Titia K.
