Postdoc position in Proteomics and Microbiology : Biology

Highlights:

1. A 2-year post-doctoral position in microbiology and proteomics is available at the recently established Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO http://www.unitn.it/cibio/ ) of the University of Trento.

2. The project is aimed at the proteomic characterization of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

3. Main project steps include:

a. construction of mutant strains with an OMV-releasing phenotype

b. proteomic characterization of the vesicles by mass spectrometry;

c. testing for immunogenicity and protection in an animal model.

4. Applicants must have a PhD and at least one year of postdoctoral experience with training in molecular biology and microbiology.

5. Experience with proteomic techniques is mandatory.

6. Applicants should submit a CV, a list of publications, a brief statement of research interests and the names and contact information for two referees to Prof. Olivier Jousson at jousson@science.unitn.it

Postdoctoral position in biochemistry and structural biology

Highlights:

1. A full-time postdoctoral position is available at UC San Diego.

2. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to join our laboratory.

3. We are interested in structure-function studies of protein complexes involved in DNA repair process using a combination of x-ray crystallography, biochemical, and biophysical techniques. Qualifications: Successful candidates should have received a Ph.D. degree in structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, or related discipline.

4. Applicants with experience in cloning and expression of recombinant protein in bacterial, yeast or insect cell systems, large-scale protein purification, macromolecular crystallization and structure determination are preferred.

5. Applicants with a strong background in protein and nucleic acids biochemistry are also encouraged to apply. Good written and oral communication skills are essential.
