Dear RASMBers,<br><br>
Our laboratory is seeking for a <b>postdoctoral scientist (less than 3
years since the reception of the PhD) with background in Protein or
Membrane Biochemistry/Biophysics </b>to fill a 3-year position and
participate in research conducted in one or more of the following
areas:<br>
<ul>
<li><b>Biophysical studies to reconstruct in the test tube multi-protein
complexes involved in essential processes (i.e., bacterial cell division
proto-ring assembly).</b>
<li><b>Investigation of the effects of macromolecular crowding and
surface adsorption onto membranes upon the formation and organization of
multi-protein complexes.</b>
<li><b>Quantitative characterization of macromolecular interactions via
techniques of analytical ultracentrifugation, light scattering and
optical biosensor methods.</b>
</ul><b>DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: <font color="#FF0000">March 10,
2008</b></font>.<br><br>
