A position is available for a post-doctoral researcher at the
Laboratory for Structural Neurobiology at the KULeuven, Belgium. The
research in our laboratory is currently focused on the structural
determination of several classes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic
homologs of ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels. We have ongoing
collaborations with several ion channel physiology groups on campus,
including the lab of Dr. Bernd Nilius and Dr. Thomas Voets, who have
published leading papers in the field of heat/cold- and ligand-
activated TRP channels. We share part of our equipment with Dr.
Sergei Strelkov's Biocrystallography group, which is fully equipped
with an X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku/Mar), crystallization facilities
and computer cluster. More information about research at the
University of Leuven can be found at http://www.kuleuven.be.
The successful candidate must be strongly motivated and should
possess excellent written and oral communication skills. Experience
in cDNA cloning, cell culture and protein purification techniques are
required. Prior experience with membrane proteins would be a major
advantage.
To apply for this position please send curriculum vitae, a brief
statement describing technical expertise, future research interests
and the names of at least two references to:

Initial funding is available until September 2010. Applications will
be accepted until the position is filled.
