A funded postdoctoral position in structural biology (up to 3 years) is available in the Unit for Structural Biology at the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research (IRC) in Ghent, Belgium. Our group employs an integrative structural biology approach in conjunction with molecular interaction studies and cellular interrogation of the systems under study to elucidate the structural and mechanistic principles underlying the assembly, activation and pathophysiology of macromolecular complexes pivotal to inflammation, immunity, and cancer.
Recent work by our group includes: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1095-5 <https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1095-5> (Nature, 2019) https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaw4295 <https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaw4295> (Science, 2019) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2017.12.008 <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2017.12.008> (Immunity, 2018) https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14937 <https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14937> (Nature Communications, 2017) Candidate profile Doctoral degree in the field of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biophysics Keen interest in structural biology Broad practical experience in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and production and purification of recombinant proteins and complexes thereof towards structural and biophysical studies Research experience in one or several of the following methodological approaches in structural biology is an asset: Single-particle Electron Microscopy Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography Small-angle X-ray Scattering Experience in biophysical methods for the study of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions (e.g. Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, Surface Plasmon Resonance, Biolayer Interferometry, Multi-Angle Laser Light Scattering) Publication record in international journals subjected to peer-review Collaborative spirit Interest in translational aspects of fundamental research Our research department (https://www.irc.ugent.be <https://www.irc.ugent.be/>), the VIB (www.vib.be <http://www.vib.be/>), and Ghent University (https://www.ugent.be/en <https://www.ugent.be/en>) are all internationally recognized centers for research and scholarship.
