[3dem] Postdoctoral position available at the Basque Centre for Biophysics (Bilbao, SPAIN)

[David albesa-jove]

Dear colleagues,



We are currently looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our lab.
Please see below for details:



*OFFER* – Postdoctoral Position (Two years)



*DEADLINE: *4th of February, 2020 at 17:00 h CET or until position is
filled.



*WHERE* – Basque Centre for Biophysics (Bilbao, SPAIN)



The Basque Centre for Biophysics is an international research center of
excellence with the main aim of promoting a multidisciplinary research
program in the field of Biophysics and its application in the areas of
Biotechnology and Health, the center is a joint effort of the University of
the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish National Research Council
(CSIC).



*Description of the position offered*

The position is available in the Structural Microbiology Laboratory led by
Dr. David Albesa-Jové at the Basque Centre for Biophysics (Bilbao, Spain).
Our group was recently established and focuses on understanding the
biological function of virulence factors and essential enzymes in human
pathogenic bacteria. Please, see below for some recent publications. The
laboratory is well equipped for all aspects of molecular biology,
biochemistry, biophysics and crystallography. We also have regular access
to synchrotron radiation at Diamond (UK) and ALBA (Spain) through BAG
applications.

*Education and Experience Required*

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a strong background in
structural biology, including protein expression and purification, protein
crystallization, and X-ray crystallography. Outstanding postdoctoral
candidates will also have the necessary support to apply for the Ikerbasque
Fellows 2020 call. These 5-year Fellowships are directed to promising young
postdoctoral researchers (applicants must have their PhD completed between
2009 and 2017) and are intended to offer a track towards independent
research as a group leader. Ikerbasque Fellows in their 5th year can be
assessed for permanent group leader positions. More details about the
previous 2019 Ikerbasque Fellows call can be found here:

*Contact:* Please submit your application for the postdoctoral position
through the Centre’s website (http://biofisika.org/contact/) indicating the
following subject: *Job Application: 52Albesa*, and adding a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, and contact information for three professional referees.
Informal enquires can be directed to davidalbesa at gmail.com. Women are
encouraged to apply.
