The Stenmark group study novel cancer targets involved within human nucleotide metabolism. This project is part of a large interdisciplinary research collaboration, with the goal to develop new therapeutics and take them all the way to human trials. This ambitious, but also achievable, goal depends on the joint efforts of several research groups, spanning all the way from basic science to the clinic. We use structure based drug design and fragment based drug discovery, in close collaboration with the organic chemistry team. Furthermore we elucidate the substrate specificity and catalysis of these enzymes using biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. We now have an opening for a talented postdoc with expertise in macromolecular crystallography. The successful applicant will join a young team to take on these challenging tasks in a stimulating environment. The ideal candidate holds a PhD in structural biology, biochemistry, or a related field, with a proven track record in macromolecular crystallography. Experience in structure based drug design is advantageous. Fluency in English, both written and spoken and an ability to work in close collaborations, as well as individually, will be expected. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by sending CV, a brief statement describing research experience, scientific interests and the names of at least two professional references to struct...@dbb.su.se. Informal inquiries can also be made to the same email address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pål Stenmark, PhD Associate Professor Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics Stockholm University 10691 Stockholm Sweden Phone: +46-8-163729 www.dbb.su.se
