[ccp4bb] PhD fellowship at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen

2015-06-10 Thread Michael Gajhede
PhD fellowship in crystallography of G protein-coupled receptors

The Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health and Medical 
Sciences, University of Copenhagen is pleased to announce that a PhD fellowship 
will be available from Oct 1st 2105 or soon thereafter in discussion with 
strongest applicant. The application deadline is June 30th 2015.

Applications are invited for the three-year fellowship from applicants who hold 
or expect to hold a master´s degree in a relevant field. If the PhD project is 
successful, the employment can also be further extended with a two-year postdoc 
(already funded).


Project description
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form one of the largest human protein 
families and mediate the effect of 27% of current drugs. GPCR crystal 
structures are very valuable for understanding basic receptor structure and 
function, and as basis for rational drug design. Although still very 
challenging, technological breakthroughs have led to the determination of more 
than 110 GPCR crystal structures of 27 unique receptors. This project will 
reproduce an already crystallized receptor, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 
1 (mGlu1), transmembrane domain in complex with other ligands of interest to 
medicinal chemists at the Department. In parallel crystallization trials will 
be conducted for a new GPCR target.

The first half of the PhD studies will be in the labs of Raymond Stevens and 
Vadim Cherezov, that have produced the only published mGlu1 structure and the 
largest number of structures of any group worldwide, and located at the iHuman 
Institute in Shanghai, China. The second half of the PhD will be supervised by 
Professor Jette Sandholm Kastrup, who has an outstanding track record in 
structural biology studies of the ionotropic glutamate receptors, and Section 
Head Michael Gajhede, at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, 
University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The project is part of a larger project on 
orphan GPCRs led by David Gloriam.

The PhD fellowship is financed by The Lundbeck Foundation and The Department of 
Drug Design and Pharmacology.

Required qualifications
The applicant must have:
* obtained a Master´s degree in a relevant subject area prior to the starting 
date
* fluency in English and excellent communication skills.

Preferred qualifications
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a background in structural 
biology or biochemistry with a solid experience of protein expression and 
purification.

* teach and disseminate your research
* participate in the undergraduate teaching of students in pharmaceutical 
sciences

Key criteria for the assessment of applicants
* Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD programme
* Relevant work experience
* Previous publications
* The grade point average achieved
* Other professional activities
* Language skills
* The successful applicant is also required to be enterprising and to possess 
good interpersonal skills

Formal requirements
The position is available for a three-year period for applicants holding a 
relevant master´s degree.

It is a prerequisite that the PhD candidate is enrolled as a PhD student at the 
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences according to the rules stipulated in the 
Ministerial order on the PhD programme at the universities (PhD order) from the 
Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Higher Education and the guidelines for

[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral Position in Macromolecular Crystallography

2008-12-04 Thread Michael Gajhede
A postdoctoral position in macromolecular crystallography is available
at the three Cassiopeia beamlines at Max-Lab in Lund, Sweden, for a
period of two years starting as soon as possible. The Danscatt
consortium (www.danscatt.dk) is funding the position, and the successful
candidate will work full time at Max-Lab. The postdoc will provide
general support to all Cassiopeia users for 1/3 of the working time. The
remaining 2/3 will be dedicated to collaborative projects, including
publications, with Danish macromolecular crystallography laboratories,
and to the development of new directions within macromolecular
crystallography at Cassiopeia. Max-Lab has excellent crystallization
robotics, crystal imaging facilities, and structure determination tools.
With respect to new directions, the post-doc is expected to participate
in:

  * Installation and implementation of a free mounting system for MX
  * Proof of principle studies for a solution SAXS beamline with the
option for microfludics applications
  * Implementation of automated sample changers for crystal mounting
at MX beamlines

The successful candidate will refer to professor Michael Gajhede,
Biostructural Research, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of
Copenhagen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), from whom further details on the position
can be obtained.  Further details concerning the Cassiopeia beamlines
are available from beamline manager Thomas Ursby
[EMAIL PROTECTED], see also cassiopeia.maxlab.lu.se.

On 23 October 2008, the Swedish government expressed support for the
construction of a unique third-generation synchrotron, the Max-IV, which
is planned to house two superb MX beamlines and one beamline for
solution SAXS. The post-doc is invited to participate in the development
of the detailed plans for these beamlines. In addition, the Max-IV may
become the neighbour of the new European neutron spallation source ESS,
which will initiate a completely new era in neutron studies in
structural biology. The post-doctoral position therefore offers a unique
opportunity to establish research in the future European powerhouse of
structural biology. For more information regarding the Max-IV and ESS,
see: www.maxlab.lu.se and www.esss.se.

The Danish user community in structural biology holds a unique position
in frontier structural biology with many recent publications in leading
journals, see examples below. Projects include ion-pumping membrane
proteins, large macromolecular complexes involved in RNA metabolism,
proteins from the immune defence, ligand-gated ion channels and
transporters in the central nervous system, enzymes from the barley
fatty acid metabolism, bacterial carbohydrate modifying enzymes and
enzymes containing iron.
