The fellowship period is up to 3 years. Within the framework of the position, duties may be assigned. The starting date is as soon as possible, and no later than 01.10.2014. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution. Job/ project description A postdoctoral research fellowship within the research area “Glycans in human health and disease” is available at the Department of Chemistry. The project will be in the field of membrane protein crystallography, with a focus on protein-carbohydrate interactions of medically relevant systems. It fits well within the Department’s and University’s Life Science strategy and is connected to a consortium of glycobiology groups in the broader Oslo area (http://www.mn.uio.no/ibv/english/research/groups/glyconor/), but also involves strong international collaborations. Further details concerning the project will be discussed and agreed on before project start. The work will be pursued in state-of-the-art laboratories in Oslo and Hamburg (DESY) and involve data collection at the X-ray Free Electron Laser in Stanford, in collaboration with Christian Betzel and Henry Chapman. The candidate should be determined to enter a challenging project, like to work independently, but also be a good team-player. She/he should preferentially have experience in all aspects of protein crystallographic work, including solid practical experience in protein purification and crystallization. Experience with membrane proteins is a clear advantage. The candidate is further expected to actively take part in the maintenance of the X-ray equipment and crystallographic software. Requirements/qualifications The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials. The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or other relevant disciplines, with documented expertise in protein crystallography. The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.
