Missions
Study of the structure of neuronal cell surface protein complexes.
Activities
Mammalian protein production, protein chemistry, biophysical interaction analysis, protein-protein interaction engineering and structure determination by X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM.
Skills
The candidate will have strong expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry and/or structural biology. Experience with (i) mammalian expression systems (HEK293 cell lines), (ii) biophysical analysis methods (surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, microscale thermophoresis, bio-layer interferometry, etc.), and (iii) X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM is required. The candidate must be highly motivated, a team player and able to solve problems independently.
Work Context
Established in 2011, IINS brings together 180 scientists from different nationalities and backgrounds (chemistry, structural biology, molecular and cell biology, biophysics, clinical medicine, advanced imaging, neurobiology) to understand brain function in healthy and pathological states. IINS conducts multidisciplinary research at the cutting edge of synapse biology and neural systems physiology, with a particular focus on the development of new technologies and tools.
