Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structural Biology Group at ESRF, France

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structural Biology Group at ESRF, France

Postdoctoral Fellowship in the field of Structural Biology Group at European synchrotron Radiation Facility in France

Study Subject(s): Structural Biology

Course Level: Postdoctoral

Scholarship Provider: European Synchrotron Radiation Facility

Scholarship can be taken at: France

Eligibility: Candidates should hold a PhD in Protein Crystallography, Molecular Biology or Biochemistry with a strong background in structural biology. Additional skills in molecular biology, recombinant protein expression and purification and biochemical characterization of membrane proteins are highly desirable. In addition, experience with membrane protein purification and/or the crystallization of large complexes would be a distinct advantage. The successful applicant should be comfortable working in a multinational team and capable of clear communication.

You will participate in ongoing in-house research programmes, the running of the Beamlines and providing support to external users as local contact. In particular, you will join in the effort of the group to study the complex of S-layer proteins from D. radiodurans that has been purified and structural studies are underway. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to continue the structural studies of this membrane protein complex. This project will be carried out in the state-of-the-art Carl-Ivar Brändén Building (Partnership for Structural Biology, with access to some of the world’s most advanced macromolecular crystallography beamlines. You will also be encouraged to use the research project to fully exploit the unique beamline capabilities of the Structural Biology Group Beamlines.

IGBMC International PhD Programme, France

Institute of Genetics and Molecular and CellularBiology International PhD Programme, France

Study Subject: Biomedical research

Employer: IGBMC

Level: PhD

IGBMC’s PhD Programme is based on a three year – intensive training which comprises dedicated research investigations and active participation in diverse lectures and practicals. Close collaborations with other research institutions in the “Parc d’Innovation” such as the adjacent MCI (Mouse Clinical Institute), the trinational biotechnology school ESBS (Ecole Supérieure de Biotechnologie Strasbourg ), the Faculty of Pharmacy as well as ISIS (Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires ) and the University of Strasbourg at large, contribute to synergistic and collegial interactions within and beyond IGBMC. Concomitantly with the highly cosmopolitan and dynamic nature of Strasbourg, our 280 students and post-doctoral fellows from over 30 distinct countries represent a key driving force of IGBMC international visibility.

The selection committee is composed of Group Leaders of the IGBMC. Students spend 3-4 years in one of the laboratories of the IGBMC, and attend lectures, seminars and courses to complete their training. During the course of their PhD, students will acquire all the skills they need to pursue successful careers in biology. They will be able to attend numerous first-class seminars given by internationally renowned scientists and discuss with them. They will experience the everyday excitement of working in a lab in an intellectually stimulating and dynamic environment.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011

PhD Scholarship in Genomics at Centre National de Génotypage, France

A PhD Scholarship in Genomics has been announced for the academic year 2011. The PhD scholarship is in association with the Institute of Nuclear Sciences, France. The research area for this PhD scholarship is Biochemistry / Life sciences.

The PhD student will make use of the extensive data sets to identify gene and protein interactions that might be of importance for the development and progression of the disease. Potential interactions and mechanisms of regulation will be validated by the student using a variety of laboratory techniques such as analysis of expression and epigenetic modifications, promoter activity assays, transcription factor binding sites, co-immunoprecipitations in in vitro model systems (cell culture) as well as in tissue samples. For validated targets, blood/plasma based assays for early detection, tumour classification, risk assessment and treatment decisions will be developed.
