Postdoctoral Fellow European Institute of Chemistry and Biology, France
A postdoctoral position in macromolecular crystallography applied to bio-inspired folded architectures (Foldamers) is available, ideally starting between June and September 2015 at the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) in Bordeaux. The project is aimed at exploring the structural properties of foldamers designed to mimic alpha-helices and at characterizing complexes formed between such foldamers and proteins. The candidate must hold a PhD in structural biology, with strong expertise in X-ray macromolecular crystallography, biochemistry and molecular biology. We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a curiosity for biopolymer mimicry and an interest in applying standard macromolecular crystallographic methods to novel and atypical structural challenges. The European Institute of Chemistry and Biology ( <http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/> http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/) is a dynamic research institute, located on the Bordeaux University Campus in south-west France, and equipped with state-of-the-art structural biology equipment.
