Dear all
There is still time to apply....
Post doctoral position in Grenoble, France on cryo-EM analysis and
image reconstruction of the influenza virus polymerase in the groups of
Guy Schoehn and Rob Ruigrok.
The groups of Guy Schoehn (IBS/UVHCI) Stephen Cusack (EMBL Grenoble)
and Rob Ruigrok (UVHCI) have been working together for a long time on
the electron microscopy and biochemistry of isolated influenza virus
polymerase (NAR 35, 3774-3783 (2007); Nature 458, 914-918 (2009)). The
Ruigrok group has now produced enough amount of recombinant polymerase
to do biochemistry and structural biology. The candidate will work
closely with the biochemists to test samples containing various RNA
substrates in order to determine the best sample for electron
microscopy. On this sample cryo-EM and image analysis should lead to the
first high resolution structure of the influenza polymerase. The Schoehn
lab is equipped with a 120 KV, 200 KV Lab6 (Feg in the near future) and
a 300 KV Polara electron microscope. The Ruigrok lab is well equipped
for the protein production, biochemistry and structural biology. Both
labs are part of the Grenoble Partnership for Structural Biology. The
position is initially for three years and funding comes from the EU and
the Grenoble GRAL Labex. Information: guy.schoehn at ibs.fr and
ruigrok at embl.fr. Grenoble is in the South of France at the foot of the
Alps. If you are an electron microscopist, if you like beautiful nature
and mountain sports, if you like the French style of life with good
food, this position if for you!
Best
Guy and Rob
