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)
• Applicant must demonstrate the ability to independently perform experiments, analyze and interpret results
• Applicant must have evident ability to write scientific manuscripts (one or more first author papers from Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies will be highly valued)
• Applicant must possess excellent English interpersonal, communication and writing skills

Applications:

• Apply online and application must include the following:
• Cover Letter stating motivation and research interests
• CV (detailed)
• Complete list of scientific publications with brief statement of candidate contribution
• List of references (name, institution, e-mail, telephone number and relation to candidate)
