Our group is looking for a highly motivated postdoc with competitive CVs to apply for a call by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, 'Juan de la Cierva Formación'. The PhD thesis of the candidate must have been defended between *January* *1st 2020 and December 31st 2021. *The call is highly competitive and only candidates with *at least one first-author paper published in a high-impact journal *can be considered.
The candidate should have a strong background in Structural Biology with good expertise in cloning, protein purification, and macromolecular crystallography. Skills in small-angle X-ray scattering and cryo EM analysis will also be considered. In addition, fluent use of English, a very positive and highly motivated attitude towards research, and a collaborative attitude with the rest of the research group members is highly desirable. The aim of the project is on the structural basis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) regulation. Mitochondria are at the crossroads of aging and of major health problems such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. mtDNA and its regulation are altered in all these conditions. Another line of interest in the group is the structure determination of proteins essential for pathogen viability, including bacteria and yeast. Our lab is at the Institute of Molecular Biology Barcelona, CSIC, located at the premises of Barcelona Science Park, www.pcb.ub.edu. More information about our projects, which are basically related to mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial DNA regulation, can be found at http://www.ibmb.csic.es/index.php?pg=laboratorio&tab=lab_home&idLaboratorio=13 ORCID: 0000-0002-0838-9706 Once the application sent, the selection of candidates by an official committee is expected to be by June 2022, and the contract is expected to be formalized by fall 2022. For non-European successful candidates, please consider that visa procedures can delay the process by about 4-6 months after the official selection. Interested candidates should send as soon as possible and *before* *January 27th, 2022* an e-mail with their CV together with a motivation letter and contact details of two supervisors to [email protected] -- Maria Solà Dep.
