VACANCY NOTICE
Laboratoire Européen de Biologie Moléculaire
European Molecular Biology Laboratory
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY
Duty Station:Grenoble, France
Commencing Date: As soon as possible after closing date
Job Description:
Highly motivated postdoctoral candidates are invited to apply
for a position at the EMBL Grenoble Outstation, France. We focus on
the Structure and Function of higher eukaryotic macromolecular
assemblies with emphasis on systems involved in Cancer, Inflammation
and Innate Immunity. Furthermore, we are interested in how viruses
interfere in processing of cellular signaling pathways and thereby
inhibit the innate immune system.

The EMBL Grenoble Outstation offers a challenging and stimulating
atmosphere and is located at one of Europe’s most vibrant structural
biology communities including the European Synchroton Radiation
Facility (ESRF), the Laue Langevin Institute (ILL) and the Structural
Biology Institute (IBS). The Partnership for Structural Biology
(http://psb.esrf.fr/index.html) gives access to all the major
structural biology techniques (synchrotron X-ray and neutron
crystallography and small angle scattering, cryo-EM, high-field NMR
and robotic protein expression screening and crystallization) as well
as molecular and cell biology.
Qualifications and Experience:
The successful candidate should have experience in molecular
biology and biochemistry or X-ray crystallography, crystallographic
software and programming
Furthermore the incumbent is a team player, with a sense of
initiative and responsibility, and is fluent in English.
Contract: An initial contract of 1 year will be offered to the
successful candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances
