[ccp4bb] Postdoc position in structural enzymology in Cambridge, UK

2023-10-06 Thread Stephen Graham
Hi all,

We have an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral research scientist to study 
the physical properties of viral enzymes that allow them to evolve resistance 
to anti-viral drugs. This project will use advanced computation biology 
approaches, enzymology and structural biology to define structurally invariant 
regions of the SARS-CoV-2 MPro protease. This will inform the design of future 
therapies that reduce/prevent the evolution of drug resistance and may 
illuminate how evolution of resistance mutations will affect the potency of 
MPro drugs already in clinical trials. This project is a collaboration between 
the University of Cambridge (UK) and Rhodes University (South Africa), funded 
by the Novo Nordisk Foundation as part of the Pandemic Antiviral Discovery 
(PAD) initiative (see 
https://padinitiative.com/awarded-grants/rhodes-university-ozlem-tastan-bishop/).

The successful candidate will be based in my lab within the Virology Division, 
Department of Pathology, on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus - Europe's largest 
biomedical research centre. Cambridge is a great place to work: we have access 
to shiny instruments for modern biophysical and structural research, we have 
regular data collection time at Diamond Light Source, there are lots of smart 
people who you can talk science with, there are old buildings where you can 
dress up in funny gowns to have dinner in wood-panelled rooms, and it's small 
enough that you can either walk or cycle to most places you need to be. There's 
even a river running through it with cows grazing on the banks. If you are a

international multidisciplinary team to address fundamental research questions 
with direct relevance to human health and pandemic preparedness, we want to 
hear from you!

[ccp4bb] postdoc position on cryo-EM of Ryanodine Receptors - Vancouver, Canada

2022-09-02 Thread Filip Van Petegem
Dear colleagues,

A postdoctoral position is available to work on ion channel structural
biology in the lab of Filip Van Petegemat the University of British
Columbia (Vancouver, Canada). The project focuses on the regulation and
pathophysiology of Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) and their associated
proteins. RyRs represent the largest ion channels currently known and are
targets for hundreds of mutations that cause cardiac arrhythmias,
myopathies, and malignant hyperthermia.



The project combines cryo-EM and electrophysiology with various biophysical
methods. For some aspects, X-ray crystallography may be required. Our lab
has steady access to the in-house cryo-EM facility, which houses a Titan
Krios with Falcon IV detector and a 200kV Glacios (Falcon III) for
pre-screening grids, as well as microscopes for negative stain EM.



Minimum requirements for applicants include a PhD in Biochemistry or a
related discipline with extensive experience with one or more structural
biology methods (NMR, X-ray crystallography, or cryo-EM). Direct experience
with membrane proteins is an additional plus.



The lab values diversity and inclusivity, and applicants from all
backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This is an opportunity for people with
a structural biology background to learn electrophysiological methods.



Recent work from the lab includes an investigation of how Ryanodine
Receptors are modulated by small molecules, disease mutations, and
post-translational modification, using cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography,
planar lipid bilayer electrophysiology, and enzyme kinetics.

*Position Description: *

The Toth lab at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research is
seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow for an NIH-funded research
program aimed at developing designer proteases that selectively destroy
active RAS (see Chen, Y. and Toth, E.A., et al., 2021, *Communications
Biology*, *4*, 299). The overall objective of the research program is to
develop general principles for engineering proteases that can control
signaling in cells, with the RAS family of proteins as our current
proof-of-principal target. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be involved in
research projects involving engineering of candidate RAS-specific
proteases, analysis of protease-substrate complexes, and analysis of the
activity and effects of the proteases in cell models.  The Postdoctoral
Fellow will be expected to independently design and apply molecular
biology, biochemical, and structural biology tools for the expression,
characterization, and structure determination of novel RAS-specific
proteases.

The successful candidate will be able to generate purified recombinant
RAS-specific proteases and RAS proteins, characterize those proteins and
their complexes, and determine the structures of protease and
protease-substrate complexes.  The individual will also analyze the
effectiveness of the RAS-specific proteases in controlling RAS signaling
and cell proliferation in cancer cell models harboring oncogenic RAS
mutants using established cell-based assay techniques.  The individual will
also provide technical direction to laboratory staff, assist the PI in data
management, preparation of manuscripts, grant proposals, and facilitate
operations of the laboratory. This position is funded through March 2025.

*Qualifications:*

The position requires a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a
closely related discipline.  Candidates who have practical experience in
molecular biology, protein chemistry and/or structural biology will be
considered with the highest priority.  The successful candidate must be
highly motivated with expertise in the fields of structural biology or
biochemistry with a focus on structure-function relationships.  A
particular research focus and interest in in structure determination by
X-ray crystallography or cryoelectron microscopy is preferred.  In
particular, the individual should have extensive experience in biochemistry
as used in the cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of
recombinant proteins, crystallization screening, protein structure
determination, and refinement. Experience in mammalian cell culture and
cell-based assay techniques is preferred.

*Salary:*

Commensurate with qualifications

——
Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen/Germany

The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen is an 
internationally leading research institute of exceptional scientific breadth. 
The largest institute of the Max Planck Society, it comprises more than 40 
research groups and employs around 1,000 people from over 50 nations.

The research group Ubiquitin Signaling Specificity (Dr. Sonja Lorenz) invites 
applications for a position as

Postdoc (f/m/d)
– Cell biology of ubiquitin ligase complexes –

Our lab aims to understand how ubiquitin − a single, small protein − achieves 
specificity in regulating virtually all aspects of eukaryotic cell biology. A 
major key lies in the action of ubiquitin ligases, the most diversified class 
of enzymes of the ubiquitin system. The immense potential of ubiquitin ligases 
as therapeutic targets is illustrated by the clinical efficacy of thalidomide 
and derivatives in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, progress 
towards rationally manipulating these enzymes has been impeded largely by our 
insufficient understanding of their integration into macromolecular complexes 
and the associated structural and functional consequences. We aim to identify 
and characterize macromolecular complexes of ubiquitin ligases to decipher the 
molecular basis of their specificities in substrate recognition and ubiquitin 
chain formation. To this end, we combine chemical-biological, biochemical, cell 
biological, and structural approaches with a particular focus on cryo-electron 
microscopy.

We have a fully-funded postdoc position available for a talented individual to 
uncover cellular ubiquitin ligase assemblies implicated in neurodevelopmental 
disorders.

Your profile:

You have a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant subject area, such as cell 
and molecular biology, biochemistry or biomedicine.
You have a proven track record in molecular cloning and cell biology, 
specifically in one or more of the following techniques: Crispr/Cas9-mediated 
gene editing, RNA interference, cell fractionation, co-IP, immunofluorescence, 
and live-cell imaging.
Additional experience in neuronal cell culture and/or proteomics will be 
beneficial.
You are curiosity-driven and eager to interact with biochemists and structural 
biologists.
 You are passionate about science and keen to establish creative new approaches 
to tackle challenging protein complexes.
You are self-motivated and independent, and enjoy being part of an 
international, multidisciplinary team.

About us:

We are an independent research group at the Max Planck Institute for 
Multidisciplinary Sciences, one of Germany’s premier research campuses with 
leading-edge infracture in all fields of structural and cell biology. We are a

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position - Pseudokinase mechanisms

2021-12-15 Thread Yogesh Kulathu (Staff)
Dear all

The Kulathu Lab at the MRC PPU, University of Dundee is looking to hire a 
postdoc with strong expertise in biochemistry and structural biology to address 
exciting questions about how the pseudokinases IRAK2 and IRAK3 regulate innate 
immune signalling.

The innate immune response is the first line of defence against bacteria, 
viruses and parasites. When innate immune receptors are triggered, the IRAK 
kinases are activated to trigger a signalling cascade that culminates in the 
expression and secretion of cytokines that shape the immune response to 
invading pathogens. There are 4 IRAK kinases expressed in humans, two of which 
(IRAK2 and IRAK3) lack key catalytic residues and are therefore dead kinases or 
pseudo-kinases. The aim of this project will be to understand the molecular 
mechanisms by which these dead kinases regulate immune signalling. This project 
will build on recently published work1 and utilize protein biochemistry, 
cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography to define how IRAK kinases are 
activated and regulated. This project has the potential to reveal fundamental 
principles underlying the activation and regulation of innate immune 
signalling, and reveal how they could be modulated to treat inflammatory 
diseases such as arthritis, artherosclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and 
psoriasis. This work will be a collaborative project with Sir Philip Cohen.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position in structural analysis of unconventional trypanosome kinetochores, University of Oxford

2021-10-27 Thread Bungo Akiyoshi
Dear Colleagues,

A postdoc position is available in my group at the Department of Biochemistry, 
University of Oxford.
We are seeking to appoint a motivated person with PhD training in structural 
biology to reveal the structure and function of unconventional kinetoplastid 
kinetochore proteins.

Although it was widely believed that all eukaryotes would have a conserved set 
of kinetochore proteins, we identified more than 20 uncharacterized kinetochore 
proteins (named KKT1–25) in Trypanosoma brucei and discovered that they 
constitute unconventional kinetochores specific to kinetoplastids, a group of 
evolutionarily-divergent eukaryotes (Akiyoshi and Gull, Cell 2014, Marcianò et 
al, Journal of Cell Biology 2021, Tromer et al., Open Biology 2021, Ludzia et 
al., Structure 2021). We are currently characterizing these KKT proteins using 
various techniques including cell biology, bioinformatics, super-resolution 
microscopy, biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology (X-ray 
crystallography, NMR, electron tomography, and cryoEM/ET).

Dear All,

A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Yang Gao’s Lab 
(http://yanggaolab.blogs.rice.edu/) at Rice University, Houston, TX. Our lab 
studies enzymes and motors in DNA replication and repair. We combined 
biochemical, biophysical techniques with cryo-electron microscope and 
crystallography to investigate how the genomic DNA is replicated and 
maintained. Previous experiences with protein cloning, expression, and 
purifications are needed. Experiences in crystallography and cryo-EM are a plus 
but not stickily required. Candidates with experience in biochemical 
reconstitution and characterizations of large enzyme complexes are more than 
welcome.

Interested candidates please contact Yang at y...@rice.edu for details.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position in evolutionary biochemistry

2021-07-08 Thread Hochberg, Georg
Dear colleagues,

The Hochberg group in Marburg is looking for a self-motivated postdoc to study 
how molecular machines become more efficient and complex through evolutionary 
history starting as soon as possible. The position is funded by a Human 
Frontiers Grant for three years to study the evolution of the epsilon 
proteobacterial flagellum as part of a collaboration that includes the Beeby 
lab (cryo-electron tomography, Imperial College, UK), the Pedaci lab (single 
cell force measurements, Montpellier, France) and the Cary lab (Metagenomics, 
New Zealand).

The Hochberg lab uses ancestral sequence reconstruction to bring ancient 
protein complexes back to life and study their properties in the lab. We use a 
broad combination of biophysical techniques to study these ancient complexes, 
but in particular mass photometry, in vitro biochemistry, and cry-electron 
microscopy.  We use this approach to answer fundamental questions about how and 
why biochemical complexity evolved in the very deep past.

The candidate would have the opportunity to develop their own evolutionary 
biochemistry research program alongside the consortium project. In particular, 
we are looking for biochemists that are interested in learning evolutionary 
methods to understand how current macromolecular machines came to be the way 
they are. A willingness to learn phylogenetics and immerse themselves in 
evolutionary thought are essential. Prior knowledge of phylogenetics is not.

Marburg is a charming ancient university town in the middle of Germany, within 
an hour of Frankfurt. Our lab is part of the Max-Planck-Institute for 
Terrestrial Microbiology, which is a world leading address for microbiology and 
synthetic biology. The Max Planck Institutes are Germany’s premier basic 
science institutions. The candidate would be joining this thriving community 
and benefit from the unique, basic science focused environment and excellent 
infrastructure at the Max-Planck-Institutes.

Interested candidates should send an email with their CV, a cover letter 
detailing their motivation and contact information for at least 2 references to 
georg.hochb...@mpi-marbug.mpg.de
More information about our work can be found on or website:
