*Postdoctoral position in molecular and structural biology of protein complexes in nerve development and disease* Dept. of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska Institute A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Molecular Structural Biology group at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (http://phillips.mbb.ki.se/). The position is initially available for 2 years with the possibility of extension to three years. We are seeking a motivated scientist to join a new research project on structural and functional studies of protein-protein complexes involved in nerve cell development and disease. The project focuses on the characterization of the complexes and their function in the cell. The experiments will involve a broad range of techniques, such as protein expression/purification, site-directed mutagenesis, enzyme kinetics, and various methods of structure determination (X-ray crystallography, EM, SAXS). Applicants should have a background in biochemistry or molecular biology, and possess experience with cloning, protein expression/purification techniques. Biochemists and molecular biologists who would like to learn structural biology are encouraged to apply. Experience in mammalian cell culturing is a plus. Interested candidates should send a cover letter including CV and names and e-mail addresses of three references before the 15th September 2009 to: Dr. Bernhard Lohkamp Div. of Molecular Structural Biology Dept. of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics Karolinska Institutet SE-17177 Stockholm Sweden e-mail: Bernhard.Lohkamp(at)ki.se, phone: +46 8 5248 7673, fax: +46 8 32 7626
