The Department of Biology and Biotechnology of the University of Pavia (Italy) is announcing a new postdoctoral programme on a few selected strategic topics. With an above-average salary, successful postdoctoral fellows will potentially be considered for tenure-track positions at the end of the fellowships which are for two years with possible extension to third year. One of the topics will be on stuctural and biophysical studies of eukaryotic multiprotein complexes and membrane proteins.
Expertise in protein expression using insect and/or mammalian cells is essential. Proven experience with expression and purification of membrane protein targets will be a plus. The language of the application will be English, however knowledge of (or commitment to learn) Italian language is highly recommended. The fellowships will be assigned on a competitive basis by an external advisory panel and successful candidates will expectedly have a strong CV. Applicants should have a PhD in Molecular Biology, Crystallography, Biophysics or a related area, and relevant publications, and must be under 35 years old. The Department of Biology and Biotechnology of the Univerisity of Pavia (Italy) has a strong division in structural biology with two highy integrated and well-equipped laboratories led by Dr. Federico Forneris and Prof. Andrea Mattevi, as illustrated at www.unipv.it/biocry. Pavia is a lovely university town in the north of Italy with very good life quality. Interested candidates should request details about application procedure, detailed topics and deadlines to [email protected] or [email protected] no later than October 10th. Best, F.
