POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
“Protein X-ray crystallographer or structural biochemist”
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Olga Mayans at
Biozentrum, University of Basel. The qualified candidate will
participate in a highly interdisciplinary project to investigate the
conformational dynamics and function of specialized protein scaffolds of
the muscle cell. This requires of the application of X-ray
crystallography in combination with varied structural and biophysical
approaches and, thus, a motivation to pursue structural biology in its
several flavors.
Candidates must be experienced in biochemical procedures for protein
production. Previous knowledge of X-ray crystallography is not a
requirement, but preference will be given to candidates familiar with
crystallization, X-ray data collection and computational treatment of
data and models.
IMPORTANT: it is expected that, upon successful progress, the candidate
will become involved in on-going international collaborations that might
require traveling abroad for up to several weeks in occasions. This will
be a unique opportunity to benefit from exposure to a range of
techniques in prime laboratories. Thus, priority will be given to
candidates interested in mobility.
The Division of Structural Biology at Biozentrum is fully equipped for
the structural analysis of proteins and large assemblies using NMR,
electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray crystallography.
A full range of protein expression systems are in operation for sample
production and multiple biophysical techniques are available for sample
characterization.
Applications should be in the form of a comprehensive CV, a one-page
summary of past work and contact details for two referees.

The position is now available and the search will continue until the
vacancy is filled.
