Postdoctoral positions in Geneva

From: stéphane Thore
Date: 25 August 2011 07:57

We offer 4 Postdoctoral Positions in Structural Biology in Geneva (Switzerland) and Grenoble (France).

These positions are available immediately in the laboratories of Profs. Thanos Halazonetis, Robbie Loewith and Stéphane Thore at the Molecular Biology department and the group of Dr. Christiane Schaffitzel at the EMBL in Grenoble. We seek highly motivated and outstanding biochemists or structural biologists to perform structure / function studies of large kinases and their associated factors using X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy techniques. These complexes are at the core of multiple cellular responses like DNA damage, growth control or non-sense-mediated decay. Defaults in these pathways are linked to diseases including cancer, cystic fibrosis and others. Many  targeted proteins are highly relevant for drug discovery.

The positions are initially funded for three years. Strong candidates will be encouraged and supported to apply for competitive fellowships. Candidate should be within three years from obtaining their PhD degree. A strong background in crystallography or in electron microscopy documented by an excellent publication record is a plus for the candidates.

Applications with CV, contact information for three references and a description of the candidate's past research experience should be sent to stephane.thore@unige.ch
With best regards,


Stéphane Thore, Ph. D
