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.
