The laboratory: The Panne lab at EMBL-Grenoble focuses on studying the structural basis of large multi-protein assemblies. We mainly focus on understanding the protein complexes involved in epigenetic gene/chromatin regulation and innate immune signaling. For more details on the research themes and publications, see http://www.embl.fr/research/unit/panne/ <http://www.embl.fr/research/unit/panne/>
The role: We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and talented Masters/Diploma student interested in performing her/his final thesis project in our lab for up to 12 months, starting from March 2015. The applicant is expected to have a strong back ground in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology with an interest in protein chemistry and structural biology. The prospective student will have an unique opportunity to perform research at the state of the art facility for structural and molecular biology at EMBL-Grenoble. The institute boasts a standardized high throughput protein expression (E. coli and insect cells) and crystallization facility. EMBL-Grenoble is strategically located on the same campus as the European Synchrotron Research Facility (ESRF), Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS). The efficiently established Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB: http://www.psb-grenoble.eu/ <http://www.psb-grenoble.eu/>) between these institutes follows an open-door policy, promoting collaborative research. EMBL-Grenoble employs researchers including PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from 25 different nationalities. Candidates with a motivation to work in a multidisciplinary and international environment are encouraged to apply. The selected candidate will obtain a contribution towards housing and subsistence during her/his time at EMBL. The picturesque and student friendly city of Grenoble on the foot hills of French-Alps teems with activity for those interested in winter sports, mountaineering, hiking and photography.
