A postdoctoral position in macromolecular crystallography applied to bio-inspired folded architectures (Foldamers) is opened in the Guichard group at European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) in Bordeaux (http://www.guichard-iecb.fr/). The project is aimed at exploring the structural properties of foldamers designed to mimic alpha-helices and at characterizing complexes formed between such foldamers and proteins. The candidate must hold a PhD in structural biology, with strong expertise in X-ray macromolecular crystallography, biochemistry and molecular biology. We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a curiosity for biopolymer mimicry and an interest in applying macromolecular crystallographic methods to novel and atypical structural challenges.
The European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/) is a dynamic research institute with state-of-the-art structural biology equipment, located on Univ. Bordeaux Campus in South West France.
Candidates interested in applying should send a letter of motivation and a CV including research experience and a list of publications. They should also arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent tog.guichard@iecb.u-bordeaux.fr
