Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, Karolinska Institutet
CONTACT PERSON: Adnane Achour, Center for Infectious Medicine, c/o
Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska

DESCRIPTION/REQUIREMENTS: Two postdoctoral positions are available for a
period of two years at the Center for Infectious Medicine, Karolinska
Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. We are looking for enthusiastic
individuals to join the laboratory of Assoc. Prof. Adnane Achour. The
candidates should be good team-players. They will be mainly responsible
for protein crystallography as well as the determination and
interpretation of three-dimensional structures of different protein
targets and protein-protein complexes. Good knowledge of protein
crystallization, data collection and structural refinement is desirable.
No knowledge of immunology is required.
A variety of projects concerned with structural aspects of immunology
are available. We combine structural and functional approaches in order
to understand central immunological phenomena such as virus evasion from
immune recognition (Achour et al, Immunity, 2002; Malard-Velloso et al,
J. Immunology, 2004; Cerboni et al, Eur. J. Immunology, 2006; Achour et
al, J. Mol. Biol. 2006; Thilo et al, J. Biol. Chem., 2007) and the role
of molecular mimicry in the induction of autoimmune diseases and
allergic responses (Sandalova et al, J. Biol. Chem. 2005; Kaiser et al,
J. Biol. Chem. 2003; Kaiser et al, J. Mol. Biol. 2007). A large set of
other projects is already well established.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: The application should include a CV (including in
particular any experience relevant to the position announced) as well as
the names and contact details of 2 references. The applicants should
also submit a list of publications and submitted manuscripts.
