Two POSTDOC POSITIONS are immediately available at the Unidad de Biofisica (CSIC-UPV/EHU), Leioa, Spain. This unit is located nearby Bilbao and offers state-of-the-art research facilities (X-ray, CD, FTIR, AFM, ITC). Postdoc positions are offered to work on the field of outer membrane protein biogenesis or iron metabolism in bacteria. Ideal candidates have a strong background in chemistry, biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, structure biology or biophysics. Postdocs should be talented, highly motivated and should have at least one first author paper in a well-cited reserach journal. 

The work currently planned includes cloning, expression, purification, biophysical characterization and structure biology of (membrane) proteins. Previous knowledge in at least two of these techniques is required.
