[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position in Toulouse, France
An eighteen-month postdoctoral position, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) is available immediately in the group of Lionel Mourey at the Institut de Pharmacologie et Biologie Structurale in Toulouse (http://www.ipbs.fr/english/). We are seeking a motivated scientist to join a research project on the structural and functional studies of an ensemble of polyketide synthases from M. tuberculosis and M. marinum, identified as promising targets for the development of new antimicrobial drugs against mycobacteria. You will have the opportunity to interact with two renowned teams from the Department of « Molecular Mechanisms of Mycobacterial Infections ». Experiments will involve a broad range of techniques including molecular biology, protein expression and purification, various methods of structure determination (X-ray crystallography, SAXS). Successful candidates should have a background in biochemistry and biophysics. Experience in molecular biology is a plus. Further informations may be obtained from Dr. Jean-Denis Pédelacq (telephone: +33-5-61-17-54-11; e-mail: jean-denis.pedel...@ipbs.fr). Closing date for applications is late january 2011. Written applications including a curriculum vitae and contact details for three referees should be forwarded to Jean-Denis Pédelacq, Structural Biophysics Group, IPBS-CNRS, 31077 Toulouse Cedex, France.
