Dear colleagues,
A post-doctoral position will be opened at the IBS in Grenoble (see
below). I would be very grateful if you could forward the information
below to potential candidates.
Post-doc position at the Institut de Biologie Structurale, Grenoble, France
*Structural Biology of DNA repair enzymes*
A post-doctoral position in Structural Biology is available at the IBS
(www.ibs.fr <http://www.ibs.fr/>) in Grenoble. This position is funded
for two years as part of a ATIP-AVENIR grant. I will be moving to IBS to
start up my new research team in May 2011 and the post-doc position
would be expected to start mid-2011.
Our research will focus on the study of essential DNA repair enzymes and
more particularly on the dynamics of DNA repair and the mechanisms
involved in DNA damage recognition. The research will entail the
expression, purification and crystallisation of these key proteins, but
also biochemical studies of these enzymes /in vitro/. Low and
high-resolution studies will then be carried out on the proteins alone
and in complex with their DNA substrates.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated individual to carry out
this project. The ideal candidate has a PhD in Structural Biology,
Biochemistry or equivalent with extensive experience in protein
purification and protein crystallography. Additional experience in the
study of protein-DNA interactions and/or eukaryotic cell expression
would be a clear advantage.
Informal enquiries and applications in the form of a CV including
publication list, short summary of research activities and contact
details of two academic referees should be sent to the following
address: timm...@esrf.fr <mailto:timm...@esrf.fr>. Deadline: 31^st March
2011.
