Dear Colleagues,

Please find in the text below new job openings in Madrid.

With best wishes...JM

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

National Center for Biotechnology (CNB, CSIC) – Madrid, Spain

Postdoctoral position available – Structural Biology of the Centrosome

We are looking for a Ph.D. for a postdoctoral 
position, available from January 2007 and tenable for up to 5 years.

The position is funded by a CONSOLIDER project, 
which involves a collaborative effort of ten 
different groups (including the groups of 
J.M.Carazo, J.M.Valpuesta and J.L.Carrascosa), 
and aims at a deeper understanding of a key 
cellular system: the centrosome. Specifically, 
the work that the successful candidate will carry 
out includes extensive use of 3D-Transmission 
Electron Microscopy to structurally characterize 
the centrosome, as well as some of its associated 
and component proteins. Single- particle 
techniques as well as electron tomography 
approaches will be on the basis of this 
characterization. Other complementary methods 
such us light microscopy and X-ray tomography 
will be explored to address specific questions.

The successful candidate should have a clear 
background in Structural Biology and high 
motivation. Since the research will be part of a 
collaboration between numerous national and 
international groups, communicative and team work 
skills are indispensable.  Although not 
essential, experience in Electron Microscopy 
would be highly desirable. The position would 
offer an excellent opportunity for a Ph.D. to 
work in a stimulating multidisciplinary 
environment, and to acquire experience and skills 
in state-of-the-art structural techniques, 
addressing questions on a crucial biological system.

For more information or to apply for the 
position, candidates should contact Prof. José 
María Carazo 
(<mailto:carazo at cnb.uam.es>carazo at cnb.uam.es). 
Applications should include a CV, a cover letter 
and contact information for references.
