The Stenmark group at Stockholm university are looking for a new postdoc with expertise in macromolecular crystallography.
The successful applicant will be involved in multiple high-profile studies investigating human enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism, which are the targets of structure-based drug design programs.
The position involves research in structural biolgy and structure-based drug design (both small molecules and protein drugs), mainly using X-ray crystallography (and cryo-EM). Experience in protein purification, biochemistry and biophysics will be an advantage. Anlysing data and writing papers will also be central parts of the work.
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.
In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills and especially to experience with structural biology and macromolecular crystallography. Knowledge of Linux-based systems is required and knowledge of python scripting will be an advantage.
The ideal candidate holds a PhD in structural biology, biochemistry, or a related field, with a proven track record in macromolecular crystallography. Knowledge of Linux-based systems and python scripting will be an advantage. Experience in protein purification, biochemistry and biophysics will be an advantage.
Fluency in English, both written and spoken and an ability to work in close collaborations, as well as individually, will be expected.
Further information about the position can be obtained from, Professor Pål Stenmark, pal.stenmark@dbb.su.se.
The deadline for applications is the 16th of February 2023.
