Post Doctoral Positions in protein structure and function at the Karolinska Institutet (Sweden)
Dear bulletin board, A post-doctoral position (stipend, 1+1 year) is available at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics (MBB), Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. The project deals primarily with over-expression, purification, enzymatic characterization, crystallization and structure determination of lipoxygenase enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the generation of lipid mediators of inflammation. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary research team and the position represents an opportunity for a postdoctoral scientist to develop his/her expertise as well as broaden his/her experience. The ideal candidate will have experience in crystallography and/or enzymology to investigate the structural bases of the catalytic mechanisms. The lab has all necessary equipment and access to facilities needed for the project. We have periodic access to beamlines at ESRF (France), Diamond (UK) and Bessy (Germany). Qualifications: The candidates should hold a Ph. D. degree in x-ray crystallography or enzymology as well as experience with protein expression, purification and biochemical characterization. The application should contain a single PDF document including: Letter of intention stating the scientific interests, technical skills, and previous experience of the candidate, CV and list of publications as well as contact information of at least two references. Please send your electronic application to: [email protected], before the 20 of March 2014 Agnes Rinaldo-Matthis, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics Karolinska Institutet Scheeles väg 2 17177 Stockholm Sweden Email: [email protected] Tel:+46-8-52487648
