Postdoctoral fellowship in functional studies of membrane-bound enzymes
 
Opening for a postdoctoral research fellow to join the Structural Biology
group at the Division of Glycoscience, KTH Biotechnology (Royal Institute of
Technology), Stockholm, Sweden.
 
We are looking for an highly motivated, enthusiastic person to join a new
research effort on structure-function studies of membrane proteins, in
particular membrane-bound enzymes involved in polysaccharide biosythesis.
 
The suitable candidate is a molecular biologist or biochemist with
documented expertise in gene cloning and recombinant protein expression
using prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic hosts. Expertise in protein purification
and analysis is also required. Experience from work with membrane proteins,
lipid biochemistry, in-vitro translation protein production and/or various
biophysical methods is considered a strong advantage, but not a
prerequisite.
 
The applicant must be able to certify the he/she holds a PhD degree at the
time for the application. Excellent knowledge of spoken and written English
is an absolute requirement.
 
The fellowship is offered for up to two years. General requirements to be
eligible for this position are non-Swedish citizenship and a Doctoral degree
(PhD) from a University outside Sweden.
