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 with a full CV (including list of publications) plus the contact details of at least two scientists for references.
