The Sérgio Mascarenhas Biophysics and Structural Biology Group, from IFSC/USP, is looking for exceptionally motivated and innovative candidates to carry out a postdoctoral fellowship in the Thematic Project “Septin filaments: structure, polymerization and action
in pathologies” to develop a project using Cryo-EM as the main technique. In addition, negative staining electron microscopy, MALS and SAXS can also be used to determine the oligomerization state, shape and homogeneity of septin complexes.

 

Candidates must have a PhD degree obtained no more than 7 years ago and experience in protein purification.

 

Experience in Structural Biology and Cryo-EM are desirable, but not mandatory.

 

This opportunity is open to applicants of all nationalities.

 

Interested candidates should send, by February 25th, to the project coordinator, Richard C. Garratt (richard@ifsc.usp.br ), the following documents for registration:

 

– A letter presenting your interest;

– A short CV, presenting academic background, publications, and information that proves your scientific experience;

– Letter of recommendation.

 

 

Best Regards

Rafael Marques da Silva
