University of Oslo (UiO) invites applications for 3 postdoctoral positions available in the Group of Structural Biology and Drug Development (Luecke group) at the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM) in Oslo.
Duration: 3 years; extendable
Starting date: available immediately
About the project:
- The Group for Structural Biology and Drug Development investigates medically relevant proteins and protein complexes using biophysical, biochemical and structural approaches.
- The projects aim at understanding structure-function relationships with an emphasis on drug discovery.
- A variety of biochemical and biophysical techniques (x-ray crystallography, single particle cryo electron microscopy, DSF, ITC, SPR, HDX-MS, SAXS, molecular dynamics simulations etc.) will employed.
Desirable:
- Highly motivated individuals with an excellent track record and experience in protein purification and biophysical and biochemical characterization of proteins and protein complexes, preferably including membrane proteins.
- Knowledge of one or more structural biology technique (x-ray crystallography, cryo electron microscopy or NMR)
Benefits:
- Postdoctoral fellows will be supported in developing their own research area on their path to independence
- stimulating environment with excellent working and social benefits in the Happiest Country on Earth
Requirements:
- Applicant must hold PhD degree in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry, or a related area
- Applicant must have hands-on experience with extraction and purification of proteins and assembly of protein complexes (membrane protein experience preferred)
