Postdoctoral Researcher

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Instruct-ERIC, working on the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloid formation and associated assembly processes.

The successful candidate will be based in the Molecular Biophysics Group within the Biomedical Center (BMC) at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, led by Professor Trevor Forsyth.

The major focus of the work will be on transthyretin amyloidosis, a complex and multifaceted field that requires a deep understanding of protein structure and function.

The project will involve the use of advanced biophysical techniques, including X-ray and neutron diffraction, cryo-EM, and other methods to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloid formation.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art facilities and collaborate with a team of experts in the field.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct research on the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloid formation and associated assembly processes
• Use advanced biophysical techniques to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloid formation
• Collaborate with a team of experts in the field to advance our understanding of amyloidosis
• Contribute to the development of new research projects and initiatives

Requirements:

• PhD in a relevant field (e.g. biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology)
• Strong background in biophysics and molecular biology
• Experience with advanced biophysical techniques (e.g. X-ray and neutron diffraction, cryo-EM)
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

What We Offer:

• A competitive salary and benefits package
• The opportunity to work with a team of experts in the field
• Access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment
• The chance to contribute to the development of new research projects and initiatives
