[ccp4bb] Integrative Structural Biology, Oléron, France, June 16-23th, 2017
Dear CCP4 We are pleased to announce the 4th RéNaFoBiS workshop, dedicated to Integrative Structural Biology, that will take place on the Oléron island (France), from June 16 to June 23, 2017. The main objective of this workshop is to offer a theoretical and practical training in the different techniques used in integrative structural biology (X-ray diffraction, Small angle X-ray scattering, NMR, cryo-electron microscopy, cellular and molecular imaging, biophysical methods and macromolecular interactions.) The goals are to explain and illustrate, to an audience mainly composed of doctoral students and young researchers, the contributions and limitations of each method with a strong emphasis on their complementarity and future developments. The official language of the workshop is French but presentations may be given in English, depending on the overall profile of the students. For practicals, English and French speaking groups may be organised. Registration is now open on the web site: https://ecolebios2017.sciencesconf.org/ Deadline for registration: April 9, 2017 (maximum number of participants: 25) More information on the French Initiative ReNaFoBiS : http://www.renafobis.fr/ Best regards Jean Cavarelli National ReNaFoBiS Coordinator Professor of Structural Biology "Structural biology of epigenetic targets" Department of Integrated structural biology UMR7104 CNRS-UNISTRA, INSERM U964. e-mail : c...@igbmc.fr<mailto:c...@igbmc.fr> phone : +33 (0)3 69 48 52 74
[ccp4bb] Post-Doctoral Position Available
POST-DOCTORAL POSITION DATE OF AVAILABILITY: starting as soon as possible, for 2 years. TITLE: structural biology of complexes involved in tumor reversion. POSITION: the position is opened in the department of Integrated Structural biology, IGBMC, located in Strasbourg-Illkirch (France) in the team of Jean Cavarelli (Structural biology of epigenetic targets). JOB DESCRIPTION: Our main scientific goal is to identify, characterize and analyze at the structural level, functional complexes involving selected protein targets to study the molecular switches and signals that induce biological activity. The aim of the proposed research project is to better understand the biology of a multi-functional protein which is strongly involved in the process of tumor reversion. The purpose of the structural study is to decipher at the molecular level the interactions between this protein and different biological partners. The structural work is part of a collaborative project involving three groups. JOB REQUIREMENTS: The applicant should hold a PhD in structural biology and must have a strong background in protein biochemistry (cloning, purification and biochemical/biophysical characterization). Experience in X-ray crystallography would be an advantage. SCIENTIFIC ENVIRONMENT: IGBMC is one of the leading European centers of biomedical research, devoted to the study of higher eukaryotic genomes and to the control of genetic expression as well as the analysis of the function of genes and proteins. The department of Integrated Structural Biology aims at understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes by correlating the structural and the functional properties of their macromolecular components. The post-doc will benefit from a technical environment including, the Structural Biology and Genomics Technology (SBGT) platform. The SBGT platform includes offers access to state of the art equipments for robotized cloning and expression tests, large scale prokaryotic and eukaryotic sample production and purification facilities, biophysical characterization, high-throughput crystallization screening, electron microscopy, X-ray and NMR facilities. TO APPLY: please send a CV and the names of two referees to Pr. Jean Cavarelli: c...@igbmc.fr
