[ccp4bb] Open position: Senior Lecturer in Structural Biology

[Uwe Müller]

Dear all,
let me please put your attention to this open position:

Lund University, Faculty of Medicine,

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is regularly ranked as one of the 
world’s top 100 higher education institutions. The University has 41 000 
students and 7 500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in 
our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human 
condition.

The Faculty of Medicine is a part of Lund University, and is responsible for 
education and research within medicine and healthcare. Our academic programmes 
are closely linked with the healthcare system and are firmly anchored in the 
faculty’s strong research tradition. Our research spans a broad field within 
experimental preclinical research, near-patient clinical research and health 
sciences research. The Faculty of Medicine, with its 1,800 employees and 2,700 
students in Lund and Malmö, is a knowledge-intensive meeting place for 
students, teachers and researchers from all over the world.

Job
A position as Senior Lecturer in Structural Biology, at the Department of 
Experimental Medical Science in Lund.

Department and subject
Structural biology involves identifying the relationship between the 
three-dimensional structure of proteins and their function. The full 
interpretation of results obtained in in vivo and in vitro studies often 
requires a three dimensional structure. To fully understand the function of a 
biological macromolecule knowledge on its structure is essential. Many methods 
in structural biology also enable the study of protein dynamics especially in 
macromolecular complexes. Increased knowledge regarding structural biology is 
expected to facilitate the development of new principles for drugs. Thanks to 
the large investments in synchrotron radiation (MAX IV) and spallation (ESS), 
from Lund University (LU) and national/(international institutions, great 
opportunities to increase our knowledge on the molecular structural level of 
medically relevant issues are at hand. A prerequisite for the Medical faculty 
to be able to be a leading player in this development is the recruitment of 
excellent researchers in the field of structural biology. These should be able 
to take advantage of the MAX IV and the ESS for structural studies and 
participate in the development of substances that affect medically relevant 
proteins which can then be used as chemical tools in biological research and as 
drugs against major diseases. To strengthen LU`s future positioning as an 
internationally leading center in structural biology in combination with a 
strong environment with competent and strong biomedical/scientific units in 
Lund, Malmö and the Öresund region we wish to recruit a Senior Lecturer who can 
lead and develop medical structural biology and drug development at LU in 
cooperation with ESS and MAX IX.

Job description
