Postdoctoral research position in Structural Biology A postdoctoral research position is available in the group of Marina Mapelli at the European Institute of Oncology in Milano (http://www.ifom-ieo-campus.it/research/mapelli.php). The main interest of the group focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying asymmetric cell divisions, with emphasis on the role of mitotic spindle coupling to cortical polarity. To study these processes we use a combination of X-ray crystallography, biochemistry and cell biology.
I am seeking a motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow who enjoys working as part of a collaborative, fun, and multidisciplinary team. The ideal candidate should have a PhD in protein structure, biochemistry or an equivalent qualification, and extensive experience in protein expression and characterization. Experience in protein structure determination would be an advantage. The Structural Biology Department of the IFOM-IEO Campus is equipped with the state-of-the-art apparatus for protein purification and crystallization, including a nanodrop crystallization robot and an automated imaging system, and has good access to the synchrotron beamlines. Successful candidates will benefit from a stimulating and collaborative environment within the Campus (http://www.ifom-ieo-campus.it/). Postdoc applicants should send their enquiries by e-mail to Marina Mapelli ([email protected]). They should also ask two referees to send letters of recommendation at the same electronic address.
