Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The postdoctoral term is up to 4 years. Postdoctoral position in structural biology, Basel, Switzerland We are currently seeking candidates for a postdoctoral scholar to study the structural biology of cytokine receptor complexes. Qualifications: Candidates should have a thorough understanding of the applicability of biochemical, biophysical and structural techniques in the study of protein complexes and an overarching grasp of structure-function mechanisms relating to protein receptor complexes. Prior experience in at least two of the following areas: protein expression (E. coli, insect cell, mammalian), protein purification, biophysical characterization of protein-protein complexes (e.g. SPR, ITC), and protein structure (crystallization, data collection, structure determination) is essential. Prior experience with the crystallization of glycosylated proteins is also highly desirable. Candidates must be able to work independently as well as participate effectively in team efforts. Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills, and scientific creativity are essential.
