(Membrane Proteins Structural Biology)

Position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow - in membrane proteins structural biology

Ref.no.: 2010/ 8649

Available at the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM), Nordic EMBL Partnership, University of Oslo.

 

A post-doctoral position for an initial two years with possibility of extension is available in the laboratory of Dr. Preben Morth. The Postdoctoral position is funded by an NCMM grant and is available from the 1st of January 2011. The Focus of the research will include membrane protein involved with osmoregualtion and anion transport in bacteria and higher eukaryotes. Projects focus on bicarbonate transport through the plasma membrane and the intra cellular complexes involved with their tight control.

 

NCMM, was established in 2007 as a partner institution of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (www.embl.org). NCMM is located in brand new laboratories in the University of Oslo and National Hospital Biomedical Campus in the Oslo Research Park and Preclinical Medicine buildings. A new Structural Biology laboratory at NCMM, headed by Dr. J. Preben Morth has been established, with focus in membrane proteins. This new laboratory is well equipped for a modern approach to structural biology, it include recombinant expression in bacterial and eukaryotic systems, new protein purification equipment and incubators . There is excellent synchrotron access to ESRF through the Norwegian bag proposal.

The University of Oslo has an in-house mass spectroscopy department for fast protein identification, facilities for electrophysiology and visualization equipment with electron microscopy and confocal microscopy.
 
Applicants must have a PhD, and should have extensive experience with vector design and cloning in E. coli and baculovirus or yeast expression systems, protein purification and characterization.  Experience with membrane proteins and protein crystallography will be an advantage but not necessary. A good command of English is required.

Oslo is a vibrant city in the south of Norway, with ready access to skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. The Oslo bay and most of the coastline offer excellent scuba diving opportunities.
