Dear all, A *postdoctoral position with a FAPESP fellowship* is available to work on the *determination of 3D structures of luciferases and photoproteins*, within the FAPESP Thematic Project *“Bioluminescence: biodiversity; metabolic origin; structure/function and luciferase engineering; applications in biosensors, bioassays and environmental bioindication.”*
The successful candidate must have *proven experience in macromolecular X-ray crystallography*, including protein *structure determination*, *heterologous expression*, and *purification*, as well as familiarity with complementary *biophysical techniques*. Previous experience in *protein molecular dynamics simulations* is highly desirable. The project will be conducted at the *Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IF-USP), São Paulo, Brazil*, under the supervision of *Prof. Atílio Tomazini (IF-USP)* and *Prof. Vadim Viviani (UFSCar)*, and will involve activities and mobility between IF-USP (São Paulo), LNBio/CNPEM (Campinas), and UFSCar (Sorocaba). The position is open to *Brazilian and international candidates* who obtained their PhD within the last *five years*. The selection process will take place between *November 10 and November 30, 2025*, and will include evaluation of the CV, research experience, and alignment with the project goals. *Expected start date: February 2026.* Applicants should send the following documents in a single PDF file: – FAPESP *Súmula Curricular* ( https://fapesp.br/6351/instructions-for-the-elaboration-of-a-curricular-summary ) – *Full academic CV* (in standard international format, such as NIH-style or equivalent) – *PhD thesis* (PDF) – *Two recommendation letters* Materials should be submitted to *Prof. Vadim Viviani* at: *[email protected] <[email protected]>* https://fapesp.br/oportunidades/determinacao-das-estruturas-tridimensionais-de-luciferases-e-fotoproteinas/8718/ Best wishes, Atílio ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
