The School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore is seeking outstanding scientists for functional and structural studies of integral membrane proteins. The School hosts a number of research groups specialized in working with membrane proteins using methodologies including X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, Surface Plasmon Resonance and electrophysiology. The research groups have access to state-of-the-art instrumentations and robotics to facilitate high-throughput protein expression and purification, as well as further protein characterizations. The target proteins include membrane proteins from bacteria, viruses as well as human with high medical impact. The studies are performed on both individual proteins, but also include protein-protein interactions within important signalling and enzymatic pathways. The positions are available at various levels including postdoctoral fellows, research associates and graduate students. The applicants must have relevant and strong background in at least one of the following areas, in order to be considered: * Membrane protein expression and purification * Protein complex analysis and characterizations * Drug-screening and interaction studies * High-throughput protein production * Recombinant molecular biology * Biophysics (SPR, ITC, AUC, etc) * X-ray crystallography * NMR spectroscopy * Electrophysiology The positions are initially for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Competitive salaries are offered based on individual merits. The applicants should state their interest and what kind of position they are applying for in a cover letter and send their applications, along with their CV and the name and contact information of three references, by 15 January 2010 to: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> NB! Only applications sent to the above mentioned address will be considered. Direct reply to this email account WILL NOT be considered! The research groups are headed by: Professor Pär Norldund Associate Professor Jaume Torres Associate Professor Konstantin Pervushin Associate Professor Julien Lescar Associate Professor Said Eshaghi Assistant Professor Tobias Cornvik ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named.
