The Institute of Biotechnology is an independent research organisation
within the University of Helsinki. The Research program for Structural
Biology and Biophysics includes an X-ray Crystallography Unit equipped
with an automated protein crystallisation facility and inhouse X-ray
generator, in addition to cell culture and protein purification
facilities. The unit hosts two active research groups. The Heikinheimo
group has an ongoing project studying aspects of lysosomal protein
targeting where the current position will be filled.
Institute of Biotechnology, macromolecular crystallography unit invites
applications for Postdoctoral Researcher for 12 months with effect from
1.4.2008 to 31.3.2009 (project).
The postdoctoral researcher will join a multidisciplinary project
studying the biology of lysosomal proteins through structural and cell
biological methods. The work will involve molecular biology, cell
culturing and protein isolation in addition to crystallisation and
structure determination of lysosomal proteins. The final focus of the
work may be adjusted based on the interest and expertise of the
individual. The person will also be involved in the everyday advising
for the students working in the project.
You should have a PhD degree and suitable background in protein
crystallography or in protein sorting and cell glycobiology or life
cycle and biology of lysosomes. We assume knowledge of basic methods in
protein chemistry and molecular biology. Experience on independent
research projects is a plus.
The salary for a post doctoral researcher is based on level 5 of the
demands level chart for teaching and research personnel. With the salary
component based on personal work performance the overall salary range is
2 466-3 600 euro per month.
The application should include a complete cv including your education
and degrees obtained, prior work experience and contact information for
at least one referee.
The applications should be sent to: Institute of Biotechnology, Pirkko
Heikinheimo, PO Box 65 (Viikinkaari 1), FIN-00014 UNIVERSITY OF
HELSINKI, Finland, no later than on Monday 10.3.2007, at 3.45 PM o’clock.
