POSITIONS

Post -doc toral position in st ructural biology of bac terial pathogenes is at the IBCP

Postdoc
IBCP, Lyon, France

A 2 years postdoctoral position funded by the Agence National de la Recherche (ANR) is available in the group of Dr. Laurent Terradot (@LaurentTerradot ) in the Unit Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry (MMSB) of the Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Protéines (IBCP, CNRS-University of Lyon), Lyon, France.
We are interested in structure function of protein-protein complexes involved in Helicobacter pylori pathogenesis. This bacterium is a major human pathogen that can cause human diseases such as ulcers and gastric cancers. The position is dedicated to the understanding of Helicobacter pylori Type IV secretion system by the determination of several protein-protein complexes by X-ray crystallography or Cryo-EM. Preliminary data are already available for several protein samples.


For more information on the project see Koelblen et al., 2017; Bergé and Terradot, 2017; Bergé, Wakmsan and Terradot, 2017, Bats et al., 2018; Zhao et al., 2019).

The IBCP (www.ibcp.fr) is well equipped for cell biology, molecular biology and biochemistry and Structural Biology and belongs to a larger campus (Lyon Biopole; Center for Infectiology), giving access to state-of-the-art core facilities in areas. The group has regular access to synchrotron beam time and Cryo-EM. Lyon is a vibrant, historical French city and is a world-excellence center in infectiology. Working language of the laboratory is English. We are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals with a strong background in protein purification and Structural biology. Experience in the study of complexes would be a plus.
Knowledge in Macromolecular Crystallography and/or Cryo-EM would be considered an advantage but is not mandatory.


Proposed starting date: February 2020


Salary is according to the CNRS french guidelines and should be between 2500-
3200 euros gross monthly according to experience.
