POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT CEA SACLAY
Position Description: The department of molecular engineering of proteins
(SIMOPRO)
CEA Saclay, near Paris, France (Head of the Department: Vincent DIVE) has
an immediate career opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced
crystallographer to work towards the identification of inhibitors of
clostridial toxins under the direction of Enrico STURA.
The laboratory focuses on the use of X-ray crystallography for
macromolecular structure
determination in support of research groups in the depertment, associated
with drug development and antigen recognition. The department is a highly
collegial and collaborative research environment and supports a diverse
range of investigators and research projects.
Dr. STURA will oversee the operation of the laboratory; provide expertise,
training, and/or service in crystallization, diffraction and structure
determination as required. For further information please contact
est...@cea.fr.
Position requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent degree in physics, chemistry,
biochemistry or a
closely related field. At least one year of experience in macromolecular
X-ray structure refinement is required. This would preferably include
experience working in collaborative and/or team-based projects and least
two publications in leading peer-reviewed journals,
related to macromolecular X-ray structure determination.
Salary: Competitive commensurate with experience.
This post is available immediately and is funded by the CEA under the
program NRBC for an initial period of 9 months renewable once and it could
potentially lead to a permanent position. The likely starting date is
March 16, 2009 and applications will be reviewed as a a continuous process
as applications are received
continuous process until the position is filled.
Letters of application including a CV and names and addresses of 2
referees should be sent to Vincent DIVE <vincent.d...@cea.fr> or Enrico
STURA <est...@cea.fr>
