Academic Coordinator in the Biophysics Team
Presentation of the Center
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR --
www.cpr.ku.dk) at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of
Copenhagen, performs basic and applied discovery research on human
proteins of biomedical relevance. The newly established Protein
Structure Program Protein Production Platform is established at the
Center, responsible for protein production of recombinant proteins
in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts, generating proteins
samples needed for CPR projects. The Biophysics Team will provide
not quality control of the recombinant proteins using various
biophysical techniques, but also will be involved in collaborations
with research groups to fully understand functional mechanisms.
Academic Coordinator in the Biophysics Team
Relationships
The Academic Coordinator for the Biophysics Team is responsible to
the Head of the Protein Structure Program and for the members of the
Biophysics Team.
The strategic direction for the Biophysics Team is set by the Head
of the Program, considering scientific priorities at the Center and
requirements to efficiently carry out collaborations.
The post holder will interact, and is expected to build and maintain
good working relationships with staff at all levels, both internally
and externally including external scientific collaborators.
Job description
The Academic Coordinator will:
*
Work closely with the Project Coordinator in projects related to
biophysical and structural studies of protein-protein and
protein-DNA interactions.
*
Have an interest in implementing novel technologies, either
internally or through external collaboration, for analysis of
protein-ligand interactions with particular emphasis on protein-
protein and protein-DNA interactions
*
Actively participate in networks and collaborations with the
international research community in general and the local research
community in particular, and demonstrate international reputation
through scientific publications and presentations at international
symposia.
*
Lead and provide expertise in the area of protein biophysics. The
successful candidate will implement, use and improve current
in-house technologies for analyzing protein-protein, protein-DNA and
protein-ligand interactions, and specialize in the operation and
data analysis of Biacore SPR, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry,
thermophoresis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Analytical
Ultracentrifugation, Circular Dichroism spectroscopy and
fluorescence spectroscopy
. Drive the development of innovative
protein-protein/protein-ligand/protein-DNA interaction methods, and lead
in implementing state of the art instrumentation in the area. Be
scientifically responsible for the biophysical characterization of
protein samples.
Experience and skills
Expertise in biophysics with an emphasis on all of the following
methods: thermophoresis, Analytical Ultracentrifugation, Isothermal
Titration Calorimetry, Thermophoresis, Differential Scanning
Calorimetry, Biacore SPR, Circular Dichroism spectroscopy, Analytical
Size Exclusion Chromatography (Analytical SEC), Dynamic Light Scattering
(DLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy with a PhD degree in the relevant area.
Experience with specialized software such as SEDFIT/SEDPHAT, Origin,
SigmaPlot Experience with quantitative protein-protein interaction analysis.
Expertise in the use of fluorescent-based biophysics methods.
Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written.
Integrity, enthusiasm, motivation, flexibility, confidence and
outstanding collaboration skills.
Employment Conditions
Employment will be in accordance with the provisions of the collective
agreement between the Danish Government and AC (the Danish Confederation
of Professional Associations), and the employment will be permanent as
Chief Consultant (37 hours per week). There is a monthly contribution to
a pension fund (17.1% of the salary), and a supplement could be negotiated.
