SRF/JRF Positions in Membrane Protein Structural Biology
POST: Senior Research Fellow
NO.OF POSITIONS: 2
SPONSORING AGENCY: DBT
PROJECT TITLE: Understanding metal-ion transport in Mycobacteria
ELIGIBILITY: M.Sc in Life Sciences, Chemistry or Physics.
EXPERIENCE: Wet lab experience desirable for SRF, not mandatory for JRF.
SALARY (SRF): 18,000 + 30 % HRA /month
JOB DESCRIPTION: PCR cloning, membrane protein expression, purification, detergent optimization, liposome reconstitution, metal-ion translocation assays, crystallization, X-ray diffraction data collection, structure determination and analysis. Membrane expressing clones are available for a couple of transporters.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15th October 2011.
DURATION OF THE PROJECT: 3 years (minimum of two years commitment preferred and PhD registration NOT possible).
Facilities available at ICGEB: State-of-the-art X-ray data collection, AKTAExplorer for protein purification, robot for nano-volume crystallization, CD, DLS etc. A multi-detector array (RI+VIS+LS) for membrane protein characterization in solution will be in place soon.
TO APPLY: Send (1) a covering letter, briefing your research interests and how you will fit into this project and how it will help your career (2) a research proposal on membrane protein of your interest (please do not cut paste from internet) and (3) an updated CV (altogether not more than 5 pages) by e-mail (sam@icgeb.res.in) or regular mail to:
