An experienced scientist position (postdoctoral level) in Protein Crystallography is available at IMBB-FORTH in Crete in the framework of the EU-funded FP7 REGPOT project InnovCrete.

The successful candidate will have PhD in the broader field of structural/molecular biology or biochemistry and experience in protein crystallography. Some experience with membrane proteins could favor shortlisting, but is not an absolute requirement; the ability however to work independently and proactively to a high standard in crystallography is essential. Demonstration of a contribution to published work arising from previous posts will also be an advantage.

THE PROJECT: 

The aim of InnovCrete is to create an environment for high-profile, integrated structural biology research which will significantly enhance the innovative capacity of biology and biotechnology projects at IMBB. Managed byIMBB under the coordination of Prof. M. Kokkinidis, and including eight excellent European partnering organizations, the project will create a multiscale research platform for established and emerging structural biology techniques. Six key areas are supported: (1) macromolecular X-ray crystallography/ FEL-based nanocrystallography, (2) small-angle X-ray scattering, (3) advanced biological imaging (4) electron microscopy (5) protein production/characterization and (6) molecular modelling/biocomputing. The ultimate long-term vision of InnovCrete is to turn IMBB into a leading Centre of Excellence in Structural Biology, capable of catalyzing innovation in Crete and in Europe.

THE PLACE: IMBB-FORTH IN CRETE

The Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) is one of the top European Research Centers. It has ranked 1st in terms of high impact publications in Greece and 12th in the number of FP7 grants in Europe. The Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of FORTH is the top Biological Institute in Greece, in terms of high quality personnel, publications, infrastructure and competitive grants.IMBB-FORTH is located in Heraklion, one of the most ancient and historical Greek cities, on the picturesque island of Crete. Crete, the homeland of major artists, such as El Greco and Nikos Kazantzakis, impressively combines the outstanding geophysical variety (forests, mountains, gorges, and beaches) with its rich history of thousands of years, resulting in the well-known Cretan culture and cuisine.

TO APPLY: 

Candidates that match the required profile will be continuously interviewed until the position is filled. Candidates should send a resume and two (2) reference letters to Prof. M. Kokkinidiskokkinid@imbb.forth.gr . A cover letter should specify the preferred starting date of employment, in case of a successful application. Recommendation letters should be sent by the referees directly to Prof. M. Kokkinidis.
