Dear group members, I would like to bring to the following opening to your attention:
ANNOUNCEMENT TITLE: Postdoctoral position in biochemistry with applications in bacteriology (Structure and Biogenesis of the pilus of Streptococcus pneumoniae) in Stockholm, Sweden DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 25 October 2007 TYPE OF POSITION: Post-Doc INSTITUTION/DEPARTMENT: Department of Bacteriology, Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control, Solna, Sweden AND Center for Infectious Medicine, Department of Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, Karolinska Institutet CONTACT PERSON: Adnane Achour, Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet, S-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden. e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Phone: +46-8-5248 6232, Fax: +46-8-30 42 76, website: http://www.medhs.ki.se/cim/ DESCRIPTION/REQUIREMENTS: A postdoctoral position is available for an enthusiastic individual for a period of two years within the laboratory off Assoc. Prof. Adnane Achour at the Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM), Karolinska Institutet and the adjacent laboratory of Assoc. Prof. Birgitta Henriques-Normark and Prof. Staffan Normark at the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control (SMI) in Stockholm, Sweden. The candidate should be a good team-player. She/he will be responsible for the cloning, production and isolation of proteins that are involved in the structure and the biogenesis of the pilus of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The prime target of this project are sortases A-D as well as the Rrg elements of the pilus. Site directed mutagenesis studies will be combined with a wide array of biochemical and immunological assays, as well as imaging, in order to assess the molecular mechanisms underlying the biogenesis of the pilus. Potential determination of crystallizatio n conditions as well as the determination and interpretation of three-dimensional structures of several proteins that participate in this process may be undertaken by the candidate, either alone or in close collaboration with other members of the research groups. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: The application should include a CV (including in particular any experience relevant to the position announced) as well as the names and contact details of 2 references. The applicants should also submit a list of publications and submitted manuscripts.
