[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position at the CNRS in Lyon

[Nushin Aghajari <nushin.aghajari@IBCP.FR>]

Job opening for a highly motivated structural biologist to join the 
Biocrystallography and Structural Biology of Therapeutic Targets team at 
the Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry Research Unit in 
Lyon (France).

A 1 year postdoctoral position with support from the Foundation of 
Innovation in Infectious Diseases “FINOVI” is available to study enzymes 
from the purine salvage pathway in the malaria parasite Plasmodium 
falciparum. The research project proposed is performed within a 
consortium of scientists residing in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, 
and aims at a better understanding of the complex mechanisms with which 
the enzymes from this pathway operate, by studying the role of new and 
innovative effector molecules.
Our studies involve a multidisciplinary approach, which combines 
molecular- and structural biology along with classical biochemistry, and 
is done in collaboration with international biology and parasitology 
groups
A Ph.D. degree in biochemistry or biophysics, and a solid experience in 
both biochemistry and X-ray structure determination are required.
Background knowledge and experience in protein expression and 
purification is highly desirable, and knowledge in molecular docking and 
in cryo-Electron Microscopy is a plus.

Lyon is one of the major cities in France and is ideally located in the 
centre of Europe within two hours of Paris, the Alps and the 
Mediterranean. It has a strong cultural and intellectual tradition, is 
widely known as the gastronomic centre of France, and the old town is a 
UNESCO World Heritage site.

The position is available immediately, and interested candidates should 
send their CV, a letter of interest and the contact information of 3 
references to nushin.aghajari@ibcp.fr. Please make sure to use the 
subject line “application for post-doctoral fellowship FINOVI” in the 
application email.
