POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN PROTEIN COMPLEX CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Prof. Miquel Coll’s group at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine / Institut de Biologia Molecular de Barcelona (CSIC) to work on the structural characterization of protein complexes. The position is supported by the EU Project SPINE2 Complexes: From Receptor to Gene: Structures of complexes from signalling pathways linking immunology, neurobiology and cancer ([www.spine2.eu/SPINE2]). A strong background in protein expression is required. Experience in protein expression in yeast is desirable.

The IRB Barcelona/IBMB laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art protein expression and purification apparatus, including high-throughput facilities. The crystallographic equipment includes nano-drop crystallization robots, storage and visualization robots, rotating anode generators with image plate detectors, automated sample exchanger and free mounting system, and cutting-edge computational facilities. The Institute is located in the stimulating scientific and cultural environment of the Barcelona Science Park.

Those interested should contact (preferably by email):
