[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position in the characterization of natural product inhibitors of cell wall biosynthetic enzymes at LNBio/CNPEM, Brazil



We are opening one postdoctoral position at the Brazilian Biosciences National Laboratory - LNBio (http://lnbio.cnpem.br/) in Campinas – Sao Paulo in Dr. Andrea Dessen’s group. The position involves: (1) fractionation and purification of bacterial secondary metabolites, as well as (2) testing for molecule recognition of bacterial cell wall synthesis proteins via crystallography.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. Candidates should have a recent PhD degree (obtained less than seven years ago) in Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Chemistry or related disciplines and have published at least one research article in an international peer-reviewed journal as first author. Candidates should also have practical knowledge in biochemistry and protein structure determination. Demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas would be advantageous: natural product purification and chromatographical analysis methods, and protein expression and purification. Applicants are asked to submit a short CV which should include: a list of publications, a brief description of previous experience and names of referees to Dr. Andrea Dessen (andrea.dessen@lnbio.cnpem.br) by September 15th, 2019.

The short-listed candidates will be contacted and interviewed in early October. The successful candidate will begin in early 2020. This 2-year contract is associated to a Grant awarded from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) through its São Paulo Excellence Chair (SPEC) program.

The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP’s Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 7,373.10 per month and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which may be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
