[Bostjan Kobe]

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN CRYO-ELECTRON MICROSCOPY/PROTEIN 
CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position combining 
protein crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), in 
the laboratory of A/Prof Bostjan Kobe, Federation Fellow at the 
School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences (SMMS) and the Institute 
for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), University of Queensland, Brisbane, 
Australia.

The main area of study will involve the structural characterization 
of macromolecular assemblies in macrophages, cells with important 
roles in the immune response and chronic inflammatory diseases. The 
successful applicant will be supervised jointly by A/Prof Bostjan 
Kobe and Dr Ben Hankamer. Experience in single particle analysis 
cryo-EM and protein crystallography is desirable.

The salary will be according to qualifications and experience, 
starting at AUD$55,544. The most suitable starting date is January 
2006, but earlier or later starting dates due to the applicant's 
circumstances can be accommodated.

University of Queensland is one of Australia's top universities. SMMS

Biology, Microbiology and Parasitology into a single academic unit. 
SMMS and IMB are situated in the beautiful St. Lucia campus on the 
Brisbane River.

State-of-the art equipment is available for all aspects of the work, 
including state-of-the-art equipment for cryo-EM (including Tecnai 
300kV cryo-electron microscope with field emission gun (FEG) linked 
to 4k X 4k Gatan UltraScan CCD camera and FEI Vitrobot single 
particle freezing equipment) and X-ray crystallography (including 
FR-E X-ray generator /R-axis IV++ X-ray detectors and Mosquito 
crystallization robot).

Brisbane has been voted Australia's most liveable city and has a 
great subtropical climate. It is only a short drive from Australia's 
best beaches and provides opportunities for all sorts of outdoors and 
cultural activities.

Further information may be obtained from Bostjan Kobe (telephone:
