Applications are invited for a postdoctoral opening in the Laboratory for Biocrystallography at KU Leuven (Belgium), to work on two ongoing projects mainly using cryoelectron microscopy.
KU Leuven is a leading Belgian University, located in the charming town of Leuven just 20km east of Brussels. Laboratory for Biocrystallography, led by Prof. Sergei Strelkov, is active in structural biology and rational drug design. The working language is English. In addition to superb facilities for molecular biology and X-ray crystallography, there are two brand-new 200kV cryoelecton microscopes on campus and a good access to 300kV microscopes in Brussels and at European facilities.
The new postdoctoral researcher will focus on cryoEM studies of intermediate filament proteins and a novel protein target for cancer drug development. The successful candidate will have a track record in structural biology, experience with cryoEM and a capacity to work independently. Support on molecular biology and computation will be provided by other team members.
The contract will be up to three years, with yearly extension. Please send your motivation letter, including a detailed CV and a list of publications, to: sergei.strelkov@kuleuven.be
