POSITION IN CRYO-ELECTRON MICROSCOPY/PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY,
UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA<br>
<br>
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position combining
protein crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), in the
laboratory of A/Prof Bostjan Kobe, Federation Fellow at the School of
Molecular and Microbial Sciences (SMMS) and the Institute for
Molecular Bioscience (IMB), University of Queensland, Brisbane,
Australia.<br>
<br>
The main area of study will involve the structural characterization of
macromolecular assemblies in macrophages, cells with important roles
in the immune response and chronic inflammatory diseases. The
successful applicant will be supervised jointly by A/Prof Bostjan Kobe
and Dr Ben Hankamer. Experience in single particle analysis cryo-EM
and protein crystallography is desirable.<br>
<br>
The salary will be according to qualifications and experience,
starting at AUD$55,544. The most suitable starting date is January
2006, but earlier or later starting dates due to the applicant's
circumstances can be accommodated.<br>

University of Queensland is one of Australia's top universities. SMMS
combines the disciplines of Chemistry, Biochemistry & Molecular
Biology, Microbiology and Parasitology into a single academic unit.
SMMS and IMB are situated in the beautiful St. Lucia campus on the
Brisbane River.<br>
<br>
State-of-the art equipment is available for all aspects of the work,
including state-of-the-art equipment for cryo-EM (including Tecnai
300kV cryo-electron microscope with field emission gun (FEG) linked to
4k X 4k Gatan UltraScan CCD camera and FEI Vitrobot single particle
freezing equipment) and X-ray crystallography (including FR-E X-ray
generator /R-axis IV++ X-ray detectors and Mosquito crystallization
robot).<br>
<br>
Brisbane has been voted Australia's most liveable city and has a great
subtropical climate. It is only a short drive from Australia's best
beaches and provides opportunities for all sorts of outdoors and
cultural activities.<br>
