Post-doctoral positions are available in the Netherlands Cancer
Institute in the groups of Tassos Perrakis and Titia Sixma
respectively (http://xtal.nki.nl).
The Netherlands Cancer Institute (http://www.nki.nl) is a center of
excellence with a high standard of biological research and an
interactive international atmosphere. It is located in Amsterdam, with
all its cultural amenities, close to Schiphol airport.
The groups are closely associated and have an interest in structural
studies coupled to functional analysis, combined with activities in
method development for structural biology. Our department also hosts
the newly established "Protein Facility" with equipment that includes
high throughput crystallization and crystal visualization robotics
both for nano-drop and Fluidigm micro-fluidics experiments, an X-ray
facility (with Micro-star Ultra source from Bruker and a MarDTB),
Biacore surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry
(ITC), static light scattering (MALLS) and others. The Protein
Facility has funds to establish both an automated protein expression
platform and a mass-spectrometry unit.
The project in the laboratory of Titia Sixma is focused at the
interface of ubiquitin (de)conjugation and DNA repair. The projects
in Tassos Perrakis group is in the field of DNA replication licensing
and/or proteins that regulate mitotic progression.
We are looking for enthusiastic researchers with experience in protein
crystallo graphy, molecular biology and/or biochemistry. Applicants
should write an e-mail with CV and names of three references to t.si...@nki.nl
or a.perra...@nki.nl
