[SocBiN] Postdoc position

[Arne Elofsson]

*Postdoc position in Structural Characterization of the Sec Translocon
machinery*.

Daniel Daley and Arne Elofsson, DBB and SciLifeLab Stockholm University



A post-doc position is immediately available in membrane biochemistry and
structural biology. The position aims to understand how proteins are
inserted into cellular membrane by the Sec translocon. The project will
endeavor to trap substrate proteins during the insertion process and
determining which ancillary modules and chaperones are recruited.
Downstream analysis will include mass spectrometry and cryo-EM. The
ultimate goal is to provide novel structural information about the
machinery by combining this experimental information with structural
modeling.



The initial part of the project will be performed in the Daley lab at DBB
and the cryo-EM will be done at the new facility at Stockholm University
/SciLife.







The position is funded by a grant from the University to DD and AE. The
position is a two-year postdoc position with a full salary. Regulations at
the University limit this position to researchers with a PhD not older than
three years.





Applicants should possess a PhD in Biochemistry or a related discipline,
and be proficient with standard molecular methods such as cloning and
protein purification. A high level of motivation and good communication
skills are required. The position will be a joint appointment between the
SciLife Lab Stockholm and The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at
Stockholm University. More information, as well as applications, can be
sent to Professor Arne Elofsson (arne at bioinfo.se) or Associate Professor
Daniel Daley (ddaley at dbb.su.se). Please include a cover letter, CV and the
email address of at least two references.











Yours

Arne
