[ccp4bb] Post-doctoral position at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

[Bostjan Kobe]

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the group of Bostjan 
Kobe at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB), University of 
Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

We are searching for a motivated candidate, ideally with experience with 
cryo-electron microscopy, and/or other structural biology and protein 
biochemistry techniques, to study the structural basis of function of proteins 
involved in innate immunity pathways in plants. For some of our recent 
publications on related topics, please see 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28159890 , 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28759049 and 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24744375 .

University of Queensland is one of Australia's top universities. SCMB combines 
the disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry & molecular biology, microbiology 
and parasitology into a single academic unit. SCMB is situated in the beautiful 
St. Lucia campus on the Brisbane River.

New state-of-the art facilities for cryo-EM are currently being installed and 
will be available on-campus later in the year (including CRYO ARM 300 and CRYO 
ARM 200 JEOL field-emission cryo-electron microscopes with direct electron 
detectors for single-particle analysis). Facilities for high-throughput 
crystallization (Mosquito robots, Rock Imagers) and various biophysical 
techniques (MALS, ITC, SPR etc) are also available on-campus, and there is 
regular access to the Australian Synchrotron.

Brisbane is one of Australia's most liveable cities and has a fantastic 
subtropical climate. It is only a short drive from Australia's best beaches and 
provides opportunities for all sorts of outdoors and cultural activities.

The salary will be according to qualifications and experience. The positions 
are for 2 years, with possible extension subject to funds. The starting date is 
flexible. The application deadline is 10 May 2019. Please see the links below 
for details of the positions and application procedures.

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 12th annual CCP4 crystallographic school “From 
data collection to structure refinement and beyond” will be held on June 17-24, 
2019 at Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), near 
Chicago, Illinois, USA. All details can be found at the school website: 
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2019/index.php.

Dates: June 17 through 24, 2019

Location: Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne (Near 
Chicago), Illinois, USA

The school comprises two parts: data collection workshop and crystallographic 
computing workshop. Data collection workshop includes beamline training, data 
collection on GM/CA@APS beamlines 23ID-D and 23ID-B equipped with Pilatus3 6M 
and Eiger 16M detectors respectively, and data processing. For data collection, 
only the participants' crystals will be used. Crystallographic computation 
workshop will feature many modern crystallographic software packages taught by 
authors and other experts. The daily schedule will be organized in three 
sections – lectures, tutorials, and hands-on (interactive trouble-shooting of 
the technical difficulties the participants face in their projects). We have 
had considerable success resolving these problems in past years, attested by 
resulting publications (see 
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-school/publications.php). A sample program, 
contact info and other details can be found at the School website.

Applicants: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early-career 
faculty, along with commercial/industrial researchers are encouraged to apply. 
Only 20 applicants will be selected for participation. Participants of the 
workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own problem data sets or 
crystals so the problems can be addressed during data collection and/or 
computation workshops.

Application: Application deadline is April 15th, 2019. To apply, visit 
https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2019/application.php.

Fees: The registration for application is free but there is $500 participation 
fee for the selected academic students and $950 for the industrial researchers. 
The link for the on-line payments and instructions will be provided once the 
selection process is completed. The students will be responsible for their 
transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers can assist in making the 
lodging reservations at the Argonne Guest House. The workshop will cover all 
other expenses (including meals).

We hope to see you at the school.

Charles, Garib and Qingping

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position, Emory University, Atlanta GA

[Conn, Graeme]

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Conn lab in 
the Department of Biochemistry at Emory University School of Medicine in 
Atlanta, GA. This position will be part of our on-going studies of regulation 
of innate immune proteins by viral and cellular non-coding RNAs in 
collaboration with Dr. Anice Lowen’s group (in Microbiology and Immunology at 
Emory), with specific focus on the oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/ RNase L 
pathway. The ideal candidate will have a recent PhD with experience in 
macromolecular X-ray crystallography; additional skills in molecular biology, 
protein expression/ purification, other biochemical or biophysical approaches 
(e.g. mass spectrometry, HDX-MS) and/ or working with RNA would also be an 
advantage. Candidates with demonstrated success in these or closely related 
areas and a strong commitment to learning X-ray crystallography will also be 
considered.

To apply, please e-mail a CV including a list of publications, a brief 
statement of experience and scientific interests, and contact information for 
2-3 references to gc...@emory.edu.
