Hi Fellows,
my former fellow Andreas Naschberger who advanced to a faculty position at KAUST has attractive and well-supported positions available. Please contact Andreas for details and inquiries. Best regards, BR From: Collaborative Computational Project in Electron cryo-Microscopy <cc...@jiscmail.ac.uk> On Behalf Of Andreas Naschberger Sent: Friday, January 27, 2023 04:58 To: cc...@jiscmail.ac.uk Subject: [ccpem] PhD/Postdoc positions in Structural Biology (cryo-EM) aiming at structural investigations of protein complexes involved in cell signaling Dear Colleagues, Two research positions (one Postdoc and one PhD student) are now available in the lab of Andreas Naschberger at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) to investigate the molecular basis of protein complexes involved in cell signaling. These positions suit recent PhD or Master graduates, with a career interest in structural studies using cryo-EM and other biochemical/biophysical methods to characterize disease-related protein assemblies. The postdoc position is fully funded for 2 years and can be extended. The PhD position is funded for 4 years. The positions include competitive salaries/fellowships and generous funding for research projects. We ask fundamental questions about how signaling protein complexes function within their regulatory networks. The project aims to investigate the function and structural dynamics of these signaling networks. The lab is embedded in the BESE division ( <https://bese.kaust.edu.sa> https://bese.kaust.edu.sa), which provides and supports a multi-disciplinary work environment. The KAUST core labs ( <https://corelabs.kaust.edu.sa> https://corelabs.kaust.edu.sa) are equipped with a state-of-the-art transmission electron microscope (TEM) Titan Krios G4 with cold-FEG, Selectris X energy filter, and a Falcon IV detector. The facility is supervised by an experienced facility manager to ensure high-quality data collection and effective training for users. A dedicated GPU cluster is available for data processing. The ideal candidate combines an interest in structural biology with experience in cryo-EM, cell culture, biochemical method/protocol development, and protein purification from insect and mammalian cell cultures. Needed qualifications * A recent doctorate (Postdoc) or Master's degree (PhD student) in a relevant discipline, such as Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Bioengineering, or a related discipline * Experience in protein purification from E. coli, insect, and/or mammalian cell culture * Experience in single-particle cryo-EM (sample preparation, data collection, data processing, and model building) * A record of publications in quality, peer-reviewed journals (for Postdoc only) * Creative and self-motivated personality with an interest in fundamental and applied science Application should include * CV * Statement of interest * List of publications (Postdoc only) * Names, and E-mail addresses, of two independent references familiar with your work. Please send the application to Andreas Naschberger (andreas.naschber...@kaust.edu.sa <mailto:andreas.naschber...@kaust.edu.sa> ) King Abdullah University of Science and Technology ( <http://www.kaust.edu.sa> KAUST) is being established in Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea coastal area of Thuwal, as an international graduate-level research university dedicated to inspiring a new age of scientific achievement that will benefit the region and the world. As an independent and merit-based institution and one of the best-endowed universities in the world, KAUST intends to become a major new contributor to the global network of collaborative research. It will enable researchers from around the globe to work together to solve challenging scientific and technological problems. The admission of students, the appointment, promotion and retention of faculty and staff and all the educational, administrative and other activities of the University shall be conducted on the basis of equality, without regard to race, color, religion or gender.
