Post-doctoral positions in Strasbourg/Illkirch

Post-doctoral program in molecular Biophysics
Biomolecular NMR group of IGBMC
Illkirch near Strasbourg (France)

The group of biomolecular NMR is seeking several hihgly motivated researcher to fullfill three post-doctoral and engineer positions in the fields of RNA/protein interactions and NMR/MS signal processing.

RNA/PROTEIN INTERACTIONS

We are developing new tools to gain insight into protein/RNA complexes. These approches are based on specific labelling of RNA and proteins by spin labels, and combined EPR and NMR measurements.
==> A three year Post-doctoral position is available for this project. The researcher will be in charge of proteins and RNA labelling, expression and purification. Experience in molecular biology and general biophysical methods is required. Knowledge of biomolecular NMR methods will be appreciated.

INSTRUMENTATION / SIGNAL PROCESSING

We are involved in the development of new acquisition and processing technics in the field of NMR and ICR Mass Spectrometry, in particular the development of multidimensional Fourier Transform Spectroscopy in NMR and FT-ICR.

In conjunction with the NMRTEC company, two one year positions are opened :

==> A one year Post-Doctoral position in signal treatment, and 1D and 2D Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (MS and NMR) (Marc-André Delsuc IGBMC)
==> A one year Engineer Position in computational development to develop a complete processing environment. (Marie-Aude Coutouly NMRTEC)

Post-Doc position in biological solid-State NMR

The biological solid-state NMR group of Anja Böckmann at the IBCP in Lyon (www.ibcp.fr) has an opening for a post-doc.

The project is part of the Bio-NMR European joint research activity on protein structure determination by solid-state NMR, and is a collaboration which is pursued with the groups of Beat H. Meier (ETH Zurich) and Peter Güntert (University of Frankfurt). It involves production and purification of model proteins, starte-of-the-art spectroscopy, spectral analysis and structure determination. It is the aim of the project to develop a general, reliable protocol for structure determination by solid-state NMR.
