[Employment] Post-Doctoral Opportunity in Structural Biology, Oulu, Finland

[Petri.Kursula from gmail.com]

Post-Doctoral Opportunity in Oulu, Finland

A post-doctoral opportunity, funded by the Sigrid Juselius Foundation,
exists in our group for an initial period of approximately 1 year,
with possible extension. The work will involve structural studies on
proteins important for the function of the human nervous system,
mainly proteins from the myelin sheath.

The successful candidate will have extensive hands-on experience on at
least some of the following: large-scale expression and purification
of recombinant proteins, membrane protein purification and
characterisation, protein crystallisation, X-ray crystallography,
small-angle X-ray scattering. Any further relevant experience will
also be considered an asset. A large number of ready-to-use expression
clones for the target proteins exists in the lab.

The University of Oulu is the largest university in Northern Finland.
The Department of Biochemistry is fully equipped for protein
structural biology work, and we have frequent access to European
synchrotrons for data collection.

To apply, please send me an email (by the end of May) with a full CV
(including list of publications) plus the contact details of at least
two scientists for references.

More information can be found at www.biochem.oulu.fi/kursula. Informal
queries by email are also welcome.
