CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- July 2007 <-- 31 July 2007Subject: Job vacancy : engineer to set up a protein production and crystallisation facility near Paris From: Valerie Biou biou {- at -} LEBS {- dot -} CNRS-GIF {- dot -} FR Date: 2007-07-31 Responsible for setting up and developing a protein production and crystallisation facility Environment The Structural Enzymology and Biochemistry Laboratory (LEBS) is part of the Gif sur Yvette CNRS campus, 40mn from Paris by local train. Using biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics and X-ray crystallography, the LEBS analyses fundamental mechanisms of protein- protein and protein-RNA interactions that govern major cellular functions, and applies its research to the discovery of molecules of therapeutic interest. Most of our research work requires highly purified and soluble protein in large quantities. A screening facility for protein cloning, production and crystallisation is being set up. Robotised equipment has already been purchased (pipetting and visualisation robots; see http://www.lebs.cnrs-gif.fr/ plateau_technique.html). This facility will first be open to the laboratory groups then to external users among which the local campus laboratories and the nearby SOLEIL synchrotron. Job description Under the supervision of a research engineer and in collaboration with users from the LEBS, he/she will setup the facility. His/her mission will be - design and validation of standardised protocols for the protein cloning and production station - design and validation of improved protocols for the crystallisation robots - setup the facility in the Laboratory - define and apply quality criteria Skills required The qualified individual will have a B.S./M.S. in biological science and must be a team player with good communication skills. - experience in molecular biology and protein biochemistry is required - experience with protein crystallisation desirable - knowledge of robotics applied to biotechnology a plus Deadline for application: September 15 2007. You will find more information about the laboratory and its environment at http://www.lebs.cnrs-gif.fr To apply or obtain additional information about the position, please contact Dr Jacqueline Cherfils cherfils@lebs.cnrs-gif.fr Laboratoire d’Enzymologie et Biochimie Structurales, CNRS Avenue de la Terrasse 91198 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex France CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- July 2007 <-- 31 July 2007 |
