Researcher in Structural Biology / Time-Resolved / Room Temperature Crystallography

Biology, biophysics and biochemistry Researcher in Structural Biology / Time-Resolved / Room Temperature Crystallography H/F Are you passionate about structural biology and the study of enzymatic mechanisms? Join the Institute for Structural Biology (IBS) as a researcher on a 2-year fixed-term contract. You will contribute to the ANR JC Catal-X project by developing a room-temperature kinetic crystallography method (TR-FRX) to visualize enzymes in action. As a researcher, your responsibilities will include:Produce, purify and crystallize proteins of interest, characterize their activity in solution and in crystallo. Prepare and carry out room-temperature crystallography experiments on the beamline BM07 (ESRF), and on other beamlines if needed.Process and analyze time-resolved diffraction data (data reduction, structure determination, refinement, and analysis of enzymatic mechanisms). You hold a PhD in structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry or a related field, with strong experience in protein crystallography. Experience in time-resolved crystallography, room-temperature crystallography and structural enzymology would be significant assets.Required skills: protein expression, purification, and crystallization. X-ray diffraction data collection, structure determination and refinement of macromolecular structures. Proficiency with protein crystallography software. Skills in enzymology, UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and Python would be appreciated. You are autonomous and rigorous, enjoy experimental work, are able to analyze complex data and value collaborative work. 🤝 Why join us? ….By joining the Grenoble Interdisciplinary Institute, you’ll be part of a dynamic and innovative research environment where you’ll have the opportunity to learn, grow and play a key role within a centre of excellence.…AND THAT’S NOT ALL!You may be interested in the benefits that come alongside your main role:A cutting-edge research ecosystem dedicated to topics of significant societal importance.
