The Research Unit for Tropical Diseases
(http://www.icp.ucl.ac.be/trop/) of the Christian de Duve Institute
of Cellular Pathology (ICP) (http://www.icp.ucl.ac.be/) in Brussels,
Belgium, searches for March 1st, 2003, a post-doctoral fellow with
experience in the field of cloning, sequencing, over-expression and
purification of proteins. Knowledge of enzymology, enzyme kinetics
and protein-protein interactions and/or an interest in parasitology
would be welcomed.
The candidate will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team studying
various aspects of trypanosome carbohydrate metabolism and glycosome
biogenesis. Glycosomes are unique peroxisome-like organelles in
trypanosomatids, which have as major function carbohydrate
metabolism. The candidate will identify and characterize already
known proteins as well as discover novel gene products involved in
glycosome functioning. He or she will support other members of the
team with his or her expertise in the study of proteins.
