The position aims to understand how proteins are inserted into cellular membrane by the Sec translocon. The project will endeavor to trap substrate proteins during the insertion process and determining which ancillary modules and chaperones are recruited. Downstream analysis will include mass spectrometry and cryo-EM. The ultimate goal is to provide novel structural information about the machinery by combining this experimental information with structural modeling.<br><br> <br><br>The initial part of the project will be performed in the Daley lab at DBB and the cryo-EM will be done at the new facility at Stockholm University/SciLife.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>The position is funded by a grant from the University to DD and AE. The position is a two-year postdoc position with a full salary. Regulations at the University limit this position to researchers with a PhD not older than three years.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br>Applicants should possess a PhD in Biochemistry or a related discipline, and be proficient with standard molecular methods such as cloning and protein purification. A high level of motivation and good communication skills are required. The position will be a joint appointment between the SciLife Lab Stockholm and The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Stockholm University. More information, as well as applications, can be sent to Professor Arne Elofsson (<a href="mailto:arne@bioinfo.se">arne@bioinfo.se</a>) or Associate Professor Daniel Daley (<a href="mailto:ddaley@dbb.su.se">ddaley@dbb.su.se</a>).
