Postdoc position – cryoEM of membrane proteins

A two-year postdoc position in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of membrane proteins is available at the Department of Biomedical Sciences at University of Copenhagen.

The Membrane Protein Structural Biology Group at Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMI) works on structural and functional characterization of membrane proteins that are essential for human health and highly attractive targets in the treatment of disease. The postdoc will be involved in the preparation of samples for cryo-electron microscopy data collection, analysis, interpretation and related complementary experiments.

We have excellent direct access to the Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cfim.ku.dk_&d=DwIF-g&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=ull__qCFwDlg_3rfhO5vE4y2jwMIvdYxf7eid0jmN1c&s=QxR0A0Xv9bE_2xLIrmaomZUkidHchi-wKwqI0GEnrm4&e=  ) at Copenhagen University, which possesses one Titan Krios microscope and one Glacios microscope both equipped with Falcon 3EC direct electron detector. We also have routine access to other microscope facility including SciLifeLab at Stockholm and Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy at Umeå, Sweden.

  *   Experience in protein overproduction (preferably protein complexes and using a eukaryotic host)
  *   Experience in protein purification (preferably membrane proteins)
  *   Experience in cryo-EM is not essential but preferred

Desired qualifications:

  *   Experience in membrane protein characterization in vitro and/or in vivo (e.g. patch-clamping) is considered a plus
  *   Experience in membrane protein crystallization is considered a plus
  *   Good computational skill is considered a plus
  *   Experience in cryo-tomography is considered a plus
