POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET
As part of a collaboration between the laboratories of Rune Toftgård and Luca Jovine at the KI Department of
Biosciences and Nutrition and the Center for Biosciences, a postdoctoral position is immediately available on
structural studies of key players in the Hedgehog signaling pathway.
The Department of Biosciences and Nutrition has state-of-the-art equipment for protein expression, purification and
in house X-ray data collection; frequent access to synchrotron sites and excellent computational facilities are also
available. With their close integration of academic, clinical and industrial research, KI and the Center for Biosciences
offer a highly international and collaborative environment for biomedical studies.
Highly motivated candidates with experience in protein expression (particularly in insect and/or mammalian cells),
purification, crystallization and structure determination, are encouraged to apply by e-mailing a curriculum vitae,
summary of research experience and interests, and names and contact information for two references to Luca Jovine
(luca.jovine@ki.se). Please note that, in order to be eligible for this scholarship, candidates should be non-Swedish
citizens who have obtained a doctorate or the equivalent outside Sweden. Deadline for application is 1 October 2009.
