postdoctoral position

[Herve Celia]

It seems that some people got some problem reading my previous e-mail. I
send it again, hoping you all can read it this time.
Sorry about that.

Included is an ad for a postdoctoral position opened in our lab.
Interested candidates should contact either Franc Pattus or me
(addresses
shown below).

------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of a European Union-funded network studying bacterial membrane
motors comprising the laboratories of Tony Pugsley (Paris, France),
Tassos Economou (Irakles, Crete), Wolfram Welte (Konstanz, Germany) and
Guy Cornelis (Brussels, Belgium.), our laboratory located in Strasbourg
(France) has a three years financed postdoctoral position available for
a European non French scientist.
We are looking for a membrane biochemist, biophysicist or electron
microscopist or X-ray crystallographer to work on the structure
determination and the study of the interactions with components of the
translocation, energy coupling and signal transduction machinery of:
The transferrin/lactoferrin receptor complex (receptins) or  siderophore
receptors to which eukaryotic iron-binding proteins or bacterial
siderophores  are adsorbed to permit the bound iron to be transported
across the outer membrane.
Candidates will ideally have experience with membrane protein
expression, purification, characterization, and crystallization (either
2D or 3D) but highly qualified candidates from other areas will also be
considered.
The research group is located in a new well equipped building in large
campus comprising the faculty of pharmacy, The IGBMC from Prof. Pierre
Chambon and the crystallography department from Dr. Dino Moras.
