We
have immediate openings for two postdoctoral researchers and one
PhD student at
the Institut de Biologie
Structurale
(www.ibs.fr)
in Grenoble,
France, to study the
structural dynamics
of light-sensitive proteins by time-resolved serial
crystallography at XFELs
and potentially future 4th generation synchrotrons. Serial
femtosecond crystallography (SFX) at X-ray free electron lasers
(XFEL) allows
studying the structural dynamics of crystalline proteins by
means of time-resolved
crystallography (TR-SFX). We apply TR-SFX to explore
conformational changes
after photon absorption by various light-sensitive proteins on a
broad time
scale ranging from sub-picoseconds to seconds (Nature Chemistry
10, 31 (2018)).
These animate structures obtained by static SFX (J Phys Chem
Lett 7, 882
(2016); Nature 539, 43 (2016). At
the postdoctoral level, we are looking for highly motivated
individuals with a
proven record in macromolecular crystallography with a keen
interest in data
processing and handling and intermediate-state structure
refinement. At
the PhD level, we welcome applications from students trained in
protein
biophysics, and preferably in crystallography. If you
are interested, please contact either
Martin Weik (weik@ibs.fr) or Jacques-Philippe Colletier (colletier@ibs.fr).
