Positions 1
A postdoctoral research fellowship (financed by the Norwegian Research Council, project title "Postgenome glycomics: The structures, interactions, and functions of complex sugars attached to proteins and lipids") is available at the Department of Chemistry, The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo, in the group of Professor Dr. Ute Krengel.
We invite applications for a
Postdoctoral Researcher
The position is available immediately, for 2 years, but the starting date can be agreed on (latest January 1st 2009). In special circumstances, the candidate may be employed as a researcher.
The project will be in the field of protein crystallography, with a focus on protein-carbohydrate interactions of medically relevant systems. The project will likely involve the collaboration with other glycobiology groups in Oslo, which are part of the GlycoNor consortium (http://www.imbv.uio.no/forskning/glyconor/), but may also involve international collaborations. Further details concerning the project will be discussed and agreed on before project start.
The work will be pursued in a new lab in Oslo (established 2005), which is state-of-the-art and includes a Rigaku Micromax-007HF X-ray diffractometer, temperature-controlled crystallization rooms as well as bacterial culturing facilities and protein purification equipment (ÄKTA purifier).
The candidate should be determined to enter a challenging project, like to work independently, but also be a good team-player. She/he should preferentially have experience in all aspects of protein crystallographic work, including solid practical experience in protein purification and crystallization. Experience with membrane proteins can be an advantage. The candidate is further expected to actively take part in the maintenance of the X-ray equipment and crystallographic software.
