Dear all
I'd like to draw your attention to the postdoc position in protein
crystallography, currently open in my group at UCIBIO-NOVA (Faculty of
Science and Technology, NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal).
I am a young PI interested in protein-ligand interactions for
structural-based drug design and the Postdoc will be integrated into my
research team, currently holding 9 full-time people. The fellowship will be
awarded for a period of 12 months, eventually extended using other funding
schemes.
Candidates should hold a PhD in chemistry, biochemistry or related areas
and experience in structural biology. It is mandatory that the candidate
has proven know-how in protein cloning, expression and purification,
crystallization, data collection, structure determination and model
refinement. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in
different expression systems (bacterial, yeast, insect and mammalian) and
biophysical methods for characterizing protein-ligand interactions. The
candidate should be able to develop work autonomously.
Work Plan: During the time of the fellowship the candidate will be involved
in expression, purification and crystallization of soluble proteins that
are important targets for drug development. Biophysical methods will be
applied to determine protein-ligand interaction and structure determination
will be carried out in the presence of the best hits. Model analysis will
allow rationalize the structural determinants that control ligand binding.
Application deadline is December 5th .

I am happy to answer all your questions
Kind regards
