[3dem] Postdoc position exploring the H2 conversion of enzymes at Uppsala University, Sweden

[Moritz Senger]

Dear colleagues,

We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Researcher to explore hydrogen conversion in proteins through time resolved spectroscopy and serial crystallography via artificial light activation at Uppsala University, Sweden.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/12832748/postdoctoral-researcher__;!!Mih3wA!EPS21t4hvL524uY5fmvRRFvsRFMAN0t6tF4jn7rzWKz_msETRLz_ninm0soEAJ--kcuqRC19MtIx1x7vt92rLqxDkuSc$ 

The Senger research group is searching for a postdoc to study fundamental principles of hydrogen conversion in redox enzymes. Our group develops new trigger concepts to investigate enzymes via serial crystallography to fundamentally understand catalysis on a structural level. The Postdoctoral Fellowship will offer the successful candidate an opportunity to deepen their knowledge on serial crystallography and the artificial light activation of redox enzymes. Within this project the postdoc will be supported to develop an own independent research direction to start an independent career.

The Senger lab is part of the Biochemistry program within the Department of Chemistry – Biomedical Centre at Uppsala University. We are located in a vibrant scientific environment with research groups in Biology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Chemistry and Physics and connected to the national research infrastructure for molecular life sciences in Sweden (SciLifeLab), providing access to state-of-the-art infrastructure for both experimental and theoretical studies.

Responsibilities: The postdoc will be responsible for leading serial crystallography research projects on artificial light activated [FeFe]-hydrogenases. Tasks include performing experiments at national/international user facilities, data analysis and interpretation as well as mentoring students, and writing/presenting publications.

Qualifications:
PhD in biochemistry, structural biology, molecular biology, (bio)physical chemistry or related fields.
We are seeking candidates with experience in time-resolved spectroscopy, crystallography and scientific computing for data/structure analysis. Desired expertise includes experience with redox enzyme biochemistry and their crystallisation. Experience writing beam time proposals and carrying out experiments at synchrotrons and/or X-ray free electron lasers is also preferred.

Interested applicants please send a CV, cover letter and contact of two scientific references to moritz.senger at kemi.uu.se<mailto:moritz.senger at kemi.uu.se> until February 1st 2025. We will continuously interview until the position is filled. Our intended start date is March 1st 2025 for a term of 2 years, but adjustments can be made if necessary.
