Switzerland: Postdoc position for Life Sciences PhD at Univ of Lausanne

Diposkan oleh Jurnalis on Tuesday, May 10, 2011

A Postdoc position is available immediately in the group of Dirk Fasshauer at the Department of Cell Biology and Morphology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

The group is investigating the conserved protein machinery involved in the fusion of transport vesicles, in particular the proteins driving the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles. To come to a better understanding, we focus on a detailed structural, kinetic, thermodynamic, and phylogenetic characterization of the underlying protein-protein interactions.

We are seeking highly motivated and creative students with a firm background in biochemistry or biophysics. Prior knowledge in spectroscopic (Circular Dichroism and Fluorescence Spectroscopy) or calorimetric (Isothermal Titration Calorimetry) is a plus.
Applications and informal queries about the lab and research projects should be directed by email (dfassha@googlemail.com, reference number: 04-11-A). Applications should include a cover letter, a CV, the university grade reports and contact information for two reference persons.
