A postdoctoral position is immediately available at the Paul Scherrer Institute in the group of Dr. Richard A. Kammerer. The successful candidate will have a strong background in recombinant protein production and the biochemical and biophysical characterization of proteins. Expertise in X-ray crystallography and/or experience with membrane proteins is desirable. We look for a motivated individual who enjoys team work in a lab environment. Our lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying botulinum neurotoxin action, in particular the interaction between the toxin and its host cell receptor, toxin translocation and substrate specificity. To study these processes, we use X-ray crystallography, biochemical and biophysical methods and in vivo functional studies. For a publication representing our work, please see Benoit et al., Structural basis for recognition of synaptic vesicle protein 2C by botulinum neurotoxin A. Nature, 2014, 505, 108-111. More information can be obtained from Dr. R. A. Kammerer. Candidates with a proven track record in international journals are encouraged to apply to Dr. Richard A. Kammerer, OFLC/106, Forschungsstrasse 111, Paul Scherrer Institute, 5232 Villigen, Switzerland, e-mail: richard.kamme...@psi.ch __________________________________________ Paul Scherrer Institut Dr. Richard Alfred Kammerer OFLC/106 Forschungsstrasse 111 5232 Villigen PSI Schweiz
