Postdoctoral Research Fellow -
(Membrane Proteins Structural Biology)
Position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow - in membrane proteins
structural biology
Ref.no.: 2010/ 8649
Available at the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM), Nordic
EMBL Partnership, University of Oslo.
A post-doctoral position for an initial two years with possibility of
extension is available in the laboratory of Dr. Preben Morth. The
Postdoctoral position is funded by an NCMM grant and is available from
the 1st of October. The Focus of the research will include membrane
protein involved with osmoregualtion and anion transport in bacteria
and higher eukaryotes. Projects focus on bicarbonate transport through
the plasma membrane and the intra cellular complexes involved with
their tight control.
NCMM, was established in 2007 as a partner institution of the European
Molecular Biology Laboratory (www.embl.org). NCMM is located in brand
new laboratories in the University of Oslo and National Hospital
Biomedical Campus in the Oslo Research Park and Preclinical Medicine
buildings. A new Structural Biology laboratory at NCMM, headed by Dr.
J. Preben Morth has been established, with focus in membrane proteins.
This new laboratory is well equipped for a modern approach to
structural biology, it include recombinant expression in bacterial and
eukaryotic systems, new protein purification equipment and incubators.
There is excellent synchrotron access to ESRF through the Norwegian
bag proposal.
The University of Oslo has an in-house mass spectroscopy department
for fast protein identification, facilities for electrophysiology and
visualization equipment with electron microscopy and confocal
microscopy.
Applicants must have a PhD, and should have extensive experience with
Vector design and cloning in E. coli and baculovirus or yeast
expression systems, protein purification and characterization.
Experience with membrane proteins and protein crystallography will be
an advantage but not necessary. A good command of English is required.
Oslo is a vibrant city in the south of Norway, with ready access to
skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. The Oslo bay and most
of the coastline offer excellent scuba diving opportunities.
