Postdoctoral position in biophysical and structural characterization of sugar 
and hormone transport, Denmark
online posting:
https://international.au.dk/about/profile/vacant-positions/job/postdoctoral-position-in-biophysical-and-structural-characterization-of-sugar-and-hormone-transport-denmark

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated postdoc with an interest in 
working on sugar and hormone transporting membrane transporters and preferably 
with a proven track record in the area of structural and/or functional analysis 
of membrane proteins.

The position will be open from spring 2025, but starting date is negotiable. 
Funding is available for at least 2 years of employment, with an extension 
possible for up to a total of 4 years.

The position:
The position seeks to strengthen ongoing activities in the our group related to 
the function and mechanism of sugar and hormone-transporting membrane proteins 
in plants (pedersenlab.dk). Examples of our research can be found in:
Schulz & Ung et al. "Transport of herbicides by PIN-FORMED auxin transporters" 
bioRxiv (2024)
Andersen et al. Basis of Glucose and Fructose Selectivity in Sugar Transport 
Proteins" bioRxiv (2024)
Bavnhøj et al. “Structure and sucrose binding mechanism of the plant SUC1 
sucrose transporter.” Nature Plants 7 (2023)
Ung et al. “Structures and mechanism of the plant PIN-FORMED auxin transporter” 
Nature 609 (2022).
The laboratory's interest is the interplay between structure and function of 
transmembrane transport processes with a focus on metabolite uptake systems and 
proton driven transport, and the methods uses are primarily structural biology 
(cryo-EM, crystallography) and biochemistry. The group is part of the Section 
of Structural Biology at Aarhus University.

The candidate:
A successful candidate has a relevant Ph.D. degree and a solid and documented 
background in structural biology, biochemistry and/or biophysics. Experience 
with membrane protein expression and purification is favored, and the candidate 
must demonstrate an ability and interest to work with membrane proteins with a 
structural aim. Applicants should be ambitious, show strong collaborative 
skills, and be able to take initiatives and responsibility within the work 
environment.

The successful candidate is offered:
- access to a well-developed research infrastructure.
- an exciting interdisciplinary environment with many national, international 
and industrial collaborators.
- a research climate inviting lively, open and critical discussion within and 
across different fields of research.
- a working environment with teamwork, close working relations, network 
activities among young scientists and social activities.
- a workplace characterized by professionalism, equality and a healthy 
work-life balance.

The city:
In Aarhus you have easy access to beautiful nature, an exciting culture and 
city life as well as a safe environment for children - a great place for the 
whole family. The city of Aarhus has everything you need: exciting national and 
international jobs, delightful residential areas, a rich cultural life, and 
beautiful surrounding landscape of woods and coastline that make Aarhus a 
wonderful place to live and work. See “life in Denmark” at Aarhus and 
surroundings for further details on the city and the university 
(https://international.au.dk/life/locations/aarhusandsurroundings).

Deadline:
All applications must be made online and received by 28. Feb. 2025 using the 
online application system (link above).
