stillingsbetegnelse: Postdoc of Experimental Structural Biophysics

jobbeskrivelse:
A two-year post doc position within experimental structural biophysics is available from May 15th (or as soon as possible thereafter) at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark under the project “Brainstruc - Complex Structural Aspects of Signaling, Inflammation and Disease in the Brain”. The aim of the Brainstruc project is to understand the molecular basis of selected brain functions and diseases. The initiative unites five strong research groups from University of Copenhagen and Århus University (See brainstruc.ku.dk). The consortium focuses on two distinct goals: Firstly, to develop new, and improve existing, methods for structural biology data collection and interpretation through an integrative experimental and computational approach. Secondly, to investigate structural aspects of selected biomolecular systems which are central to neuronal signaling, inflammation, and disease. The Brainstruc initiative is tailored to exploit the unique possibilities surfacing with the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) and MAX-IV in Lund and XFEL in Hamburg.

The present post doc position lies within the first area and the central aim of the postdoc project is to continue our ongoing development of methods for reconstituting and investigating membrane proteins in model systems for biological membranes through neutron reflectometry based methods in combination in combination with information from NMR and Molecular Dynamics.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within Structural Biophysics as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in biophysics, physical chemistry or biochemistry, along with documented hands-on experience in neutron reflectometry including sample preparation, data collection and subsequent data analysis. Good collaboration skills is a necessity in this large collaborative project.

Further information on the Department is linked at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries about the position can be made to group leader Professor Lise Arleth.

The position is open from May 15th, 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of employment
