Dear CCP4 members
Could you please forward the following to suitable candidates.
The position will soon be available from the following website

Best Preben
*Department of Biosciences/****Centre for Molecular Medicine (NCMM),
Nordic EMBL Partnership, University of Oslo.***
Two 2-year positions as researcher are available at the NRC project "The
intracellular pathway for MHC Class II antigen presentation". One of the
positions will work in the group of prof. Oddmund Bakke at the
Department of Biosciences and the second in the group of Dr. Preben
Morth at the Centre for Molecular Medicine, University of Oslo. A one
year prolongation is possible.
*Job Description*
The project focuses primarily on unraveling the function of the
endocytic pathway toward antigen loading using biophysical techniques,
molecular biological techniques, protein crystallography, biochemistry,
imaging (e.g live imaging) and molecular/imaging/biochemical screens in
cell culture systems and cells from knock out/knock in mice. The project
will focus on unraveling the pathway toward MHC II antigen loading, in
particular the molecules associate with the transport to and from this
compartment in immune cells(See e.g. Neefjes et al., 2011, Nature
immunology ihttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22076556). The Morth
Group is a part of the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway, home page:
http://www.ncmm.uio.no/research/groups/membrane-transport/. The Bakke
group is a member of a CoE,Centre for Immune Regulation
http://www.med.uio.no/cir/english/and prof Oddmund Bakke is also the
head of the National imaging platform NorMIC
Oslo,http://www.mn.uio.no/ibv/english/research/about/infrastructure/imaging/
with a wide range of imaging equipment. The work will include
collaboration with national and international groups in particular Prof.
Jacques Neefjes at the Dutch Cancer Centre, NKI in Amsterdam.
http://www.nki.nl/divisions/cell-biology-ii/neefjes-s-group/.
We are seeking highly motivated and skilled researchers with broad and
extensive experience within one or more of the following areas: advanced
imaging, molecular biology, cellular immunology, cell biology,
biochemistry, protein chemistry. Prior experience with intracellular
membrane/protein traffic and library screening will be considered a
strong advantage. One of the positions will preferentially have
experience withprotein crystallography and/or biophysical methods.
*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 candidates must have a PhD or other corresponding education
equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in molecular biology, cell
biology, biophysics or biochemistry or structural biology.
A good command of English is required.
English proficiency requirements
