Dear colleagues, We have an open position for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate in my group at the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) to investigate the structural basis of the regulation protein kinases and pseudokinases receptors in human signaling by using cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or due to complete within 6 months) in biochemistry, biophysics, life science or related fields. We are seeking a person with expertise in protein biochemistry (ideally in membrane protein) and with knowledge in single-particle electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Previous experience in protein expression in eukaryotic cells (insect and human) is preferred but not required.
The position is funded for 2 years, but the candidate is encouraged to apply for additional postdoctoral funding. The candidate will join an exciting and multidisciplinary scientific environment with on-site access to cutting-edge facilities in cryo-EM (housing a 200kV Arctica equipped with a K2 summit camera and soon to come 200kV Cryo-electron microscope equipped with an energy filter and last generation direct detector), X-Ray crystallography, NMR, Biochemistry, Biophysics, molecular biology and cell biology. The project involved international collaborations with cell biologists for complementary characterization of protein function in cell and in mice. Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, CV and contact information of 2 references here: https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR5248-PIEMAI-001/Default.aspx?lang=EN <https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR5248-PIEMAI-001/Default.aspx?lang=EN> The deadline for the application is May 30th. The starting date for this position is October 1st.
