</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
A post-doc position in electron microscopy and membrane biochemistry <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> is available</span> at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm/Sweden. The applicant will investigate the structure of membrane
scaffolds by electron microscopy. The project focuses on the purification and characterisation of a soluble, postsynaptic scaffold protein. Downstream of the protein structure we are also interested in the biochemical/biophysical properties of these samples.
Therefore, we are interested in the purification of the generic membrane proteins the can act as a bait protein for the protein of interest. We are also developing bio-inspired nanomaterials to develop a functional assay for the scaffold.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
The candidate should possess a PhD in Biochemistry (or a related field) and experience in the purification of (membrane) proteins as well as knowledge of structural biology. A high level of motivation and good communication skills are required, because the
project is part of a larger collaborative effort.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Our lab is equipped with a JEOL 2100F and a direct electron detector. Further, we have access to the national EM facility (<a href="https://cryoem.scilifelab.se/" target="_blank">https://cryoem.scilifelab.se/</a>) which features a FEI Krios and a FEI Talos.
The position funded through a Human Frontier Science Programme grant and for one year, but can be extended for another year.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Please include a CV and the email address of at least two references when contacting me at <a href="mailto:carsten.mim@ki.se" target="_blank">carsten.mim@sth.kth.se</a><br>
