Post-doctoral position in Structural Biology of Bacterial Pathogenesis
at the IBCP (Lyon, France)
**
*A FINOVI (http://www.finovi.org) funded postdoctoral position *is
available immediately in the group of Laurent Terradot at the Institut
de Biologie et Chimie des Protéines (IBCP), Lyon, (http://www.ibcp.fr).
We are interested in the structure/function of protein complexes
involved in bacterial pathogenesis. The funded position will aim to
solve the structures of type IV secretion system effectors and
understand their mode(s) of action (see Tosi /et al/., Febs L, 2009;
Jimenez-Soto /et al/., PloS Pathogens, 2009; Kaplan-Türköz et al., PNAS,
2012). The project is a collaboration between our laboratory and team of
P. Doublet at the University of Lyon 1.
The IBCP is well equipped for Molecular Biology, Biochemistry,
Bioinformatics and Structural Biology and belongs to a larger campus
(UMS3444/US8, Lyon Biopole; Center for Infectiology), giving access to
state-of-the-art core facilities, including crystallogenesis and
biophysics platforms. The group has regular access to synchrotron beam
time and is ideally located one hour from the European Synchrotron ESRF.
Lyon is a vibrant, historical French city and is a world-excellence
center in Infectiology.
We are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals with a
strong background in X-ray crystallography, model building and
refinement. Successful experience in protein purification for structural
studies is required. Experience in protein-protein interactions
(Biacore, ITC) and/or study of large complexes would be a plus. Working
language of the laboratory is English.
Starting date: *As soon as possible*.
Salary is according to the CNRS french guidelines.
