Dear all,
A postdoctoral position with a FAPESP fellowship is
available to work on the determination of
3D structures of luciferases and photoproteins, within the FAPESP
Thematic Project “Bioluminescence:
biodiversity; metabolic origin; structure/function and luciferase engineering;
applications in biosensors, bioassays and environmental bioindication.”
The
successful candidate must have proven
experience in macromolecular X-ray crystallography, including protein structure determination, heterologous expression, and purification, as well as familiarity with
complementary biophysical techniques.
Previous experience in protein molecular
dynamics simulations is highly desirable.
The
project will be conducted at the Institute
of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IF-USP), São Paulo, Brazil, under the
supervision of Prof. Atílio Tomazini
(IF-USP) and Prof. Vadim Viviani
(UFSCar), and will involve activities and mobility between IF-USP (São
Paulo), LNBio/CNPEM (Campinas), and UFSCar (Sorocaba).
The position is open to Brazilian
and international candidates who obtained their PhD within the last five years. The selection process will
take place between November 10 and
November 30, 2025, and will include evaluation of the CV, research
experience, and alignment with the project goals. Expected start date: February 2026.
Applicants should send the following documents in a single PDF file:
– FAPESP Súmula Curricular (https://fapesp.br/6351/instructions-for-the-elaboration-of-a-curricular-summary)
– Full academic CV (in standard
international format, such as NIH-style or equivalent)
– PhD thesis (PDF)
– Two recommendation letters
Materials should be submitted to Prof.
Vadim Viviani at: viviani@ufscar.br
Best
wishes,
Atílio
