As part of a long-term collaboration between the laboratories of Luca Jovine and Rune Toftgård at the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition & the Center for Biosciences of Karolinska Institutet, a postdoctoral position is available from January 2013 on structural studies of protein-protein interactions at the core of the human Hedgehog signaling pathway.
For further information, please see: http://jovinelab.org; http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=22596&a=84967&l=en ; Teglund & Toftgard Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1805:181-208 (2010); Briscoe & Rohatgi EMBO Rep. 13:580-583 (2012). The Department of Biosciences and Nutrition has state-of-the-art equipment for protein expression, purification and in house X-ray and EM data collection; frequent access to multiple synchrotron sites and excellent computational facilities are also available. With their close integration of academic, clinical and industrial research, KI and the Center for Biosciences offer a highly international and collaborative environment for biomedical studies. The candidate must have significant experience in studying protein-protein interactions using both biochemical and crystallographic approaches. Previous experience with protein expression in mammalian and/or insect cells will be an advantage. Familiarity with SAXS data colection and processing will also be a plus. At least one first author paper in a high quality international peer-reviewed journal, fluency in english and a strong personal drive to excel in science are required.
