[ccp4bb] ERC-funded postdoc positions at the University of Geneva, Switzerland

[Michael Hothorn]

Dear all,

we are looking for

- a postdoctoral fellow to uncover *how inositol pyrophosphate signaling 
molecules interact with very different protein complexes* to allow 
plants to adapt their development when nutrients become limiting (Zhu 
/et al./, *bioRxiv*, 2018; Wild /et al./, *Science* 2016).


and

- a postdoctoral fellow to elucidate *how plant-unique membrane receptor 
kinase complexes orchestrate plant growth and development* (Hohmann /et 
al./, *Nature Plants*, 2018; Hohmann /et al./, *PNAS*, 2018, Santiago 
/et al./, *eLife*, 2016; Santiago /et al./, *Science*, 2013).



We combine structural biology and quantitative biochemistry with 
genetics and cell biology to understand core signaling pathways in plant 
development in mechanistic detail. You would work in a fully equipped 
biochemistry (ITC, SPR, SEC-MALLS) and crystallography lab, with 
in-house access to a Talos Artica and to many nice team members and 
collaborators.



We are looking for 1^st year postdoctoral fellows with a background in 
(membrane) protein biochemistry and structural biology. A green thumb 
would considered a plus ;-)

[ccp4bb] CCP4 Study Weekend: late addition and last chance to register

[Randy Read]

The CCP4 Study Weekend on “Integrated, rational molecular replacement” will be 
held at the East Midlands Conferenced Centre in Nottingham, from 8th to 10th 
January 2019.  There are still some places left, but registration will close 
very soon, on 10th December.

We’re pleased to announce a late addition to the programme, which couldn’t be 
publicised until the results of the CASP13 protein folding challenge had been 
announced.  As you may have heard (if you read tech websites or the Guardian 
newspaper) the people from DeepMind have applied their deep learning algorithms 
to the protein folding problem and have done extremely well in folding the 
protein targets in CASP13.  Andrew Senior, the lead of the AlphaFold team that 
achieved this result, will be attending the Study Weekend to speak about their 
algorithms and their potential applications.

To see the rest of our exciting programme and to find registration information, 
please go to the meeting website: http://www.cvent.com/d/sgq8q6/6X.

Best wishes,

Isabel Usón, Ronan Keegan and Randy Read
