Postdoctoral Position in Structural Enzymology of Bacterial Pathogens
A postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated individual
at the Department of Medical Biochemistry & Biophysics, Karolinska
Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. The candidate will join on-going
multidisciplinary research aimed at the structural and functional
characterization of proteins and protein complexes from major
pathogens, in particular Pseudomonas aeruginosa (for more details see
http://www.aeropath.eu/). The position is for two years, with the
possibility of a one year extension.
The project includes recombinant production of bacterial protein
targets and their biochemical, biophysical, and structural
characterization. The methods used will include e.g. protein
crystallography, enzyme kinetics, and fragment based screening of
small-molecule libraries. The successful candidate must have a
doctoral degree, a strong commitment to science, and should possess
good written and oral communication skills. A background in
biochemistry, biophysics and/or protein crystallography is an
advantage.
The laboratory has access to state-of-the-art facilities for
structural biology and biochemical research. A protein production and
crystallization platform and a broad range of instruments for
biophysical characterization of proteins & protein complexes are
available at the department.
For further enquiries please contact Prof Gunter Schneider (phone: +46

candidates are encouraged to apply by sending curriculum vitae, a
brief statement describing research experience, scientific interests
and motivation and the names and e-mail addresses of at least two
referees by e-mail to ([log in to unmask]). Deadline for
applications: june 15, 2010
