[Igor Tascon]

Postdoctoral position in structural biology of disease mechanisms at the Basque Centre for Biophysics

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Iban Ubarretxena to work on the structural biology of disease mechanisms at the Basque Centre for Biophysics (Instituto Biofisika, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.biofisika.org__;!!Mih3wA!Tg4aQn4YJY-zM-l_FO6bMdfoGMkw9z6ZlvnwxQd3OaESyhA5KOa7hqOMA9_y9iK2NA$ ) at Bilbao, Spain.

We are seeking highly qualified applicants with expertise in the areas of protein biochemistry and structural biology, including x-ray crystallography and/or cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

The laboratory offers the opportunity to be trained in high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and to participate in international multidisciplinary projects aimed at understanding the structural basis of the mechanism of action of proteins involved in human diseases. For recent publications from the laboratory see: Nature Commun. 2020 10:2699, Nature Struct. Mol. Biol. 2019 26:955, Cell Res. 2019 29:313.

The candidate responsibilities include: (i) to contribute a major role in setting the direction of research goals and to take the lead in the preparation of manuscripts for publication and materials for presentation at scientific meetings as a co-author; (ii) to study proteins from a biochemical and structural perspective; and (iii) to assist other members of the research team in the furtherance of the group's work. 

The Basque Centre for Biophysics is a joint research centre of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The centre focuses on fundamental and translational biophysics research and offers a highly collaborative culture. Accredited as a Basque Excellence Research Centre (BERC) the Basque Centre for Biophysics provides outstanding shared facilities for advanced biophysical and structural biology approaches in a new research building in the main Leioa campus of the University of the UPV/EHU.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity. Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a 3-page description of research interests and past accomplishments, and the names of three references by email to recruitment at fbiofisica.es <mailto:recruitment at fbiofisica.es>. The deadline to receive applications is August 15th, 2020 at 17:00 h CET.

Please note, that due to the large number of applicants expected, it will not be possible to communicate the evaluation results to all the candidates.
