Dear group members,
I would like to bring to the following opening to your attention:

ANNOUNCEMENT TITLE: Postdoctoral position in biochemistry with
applications in bacteriology (Structure and Biogenesis of the pilus of
Streptococcus pneumoniae) in Stockholm, Sweden
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 25 October 2007
TYPE OF POSITION: Post-Doc
INSTITUTION/DEPARTMENT: Department of Bacteriology, Swedish Institute
for Infectious Disease Control, Solna, Sweden AND Center for Infectious
Medicine, Department of Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital in
Huddinge, Karolinska Institutet
CONTACT PERSON: Adnane Achour, Department of Microbiology, Tumor and
Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet, S-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden. e-mail
address: adnane.achour@ki.se, Phone: +46-8-5248 6232, Fax: +46-8-30 42
76, website: http://www.medhs.ki.se/cim/
DESCRIPTION/REQUIREMENTS: A postdoctoral position is available for an
enthusiastic individual for a period of two years within the laboratory
off Assoc. Prof. Adnane Achour at the Center for Infectious Medicine
(CIM), Karolinska Institutet and the adjacent laboratory of Assoc. Prof.
Birgitta Henriques-Normark and Prof. Staffan Normark at the Swedish
Institute for Infectious Disease Control (SMI) in Stockholm, Sweden. The
candidate should be a good team-player. She/he will be responsible for
the cloning, production and isolation of proteins that are involved in
the structure and the biogenesis of the pilus of Streptococcus
pneumoniae. The prime target of this project are sortases A-D as well as
the Rrg elements of the pilus. Site directed mutagenesis studies will be
combined with a wide array of biochemical and immunological assays, as
well as imaging, in order to assess the molecular mechanisms underlying
the biogenesis of the pilus. Potential determination of crystallizatio
n conditions as well as the determination and interpretation of
three-dimensional structures of several proteins that participate in
this process may be undertaken by the candidate, either alone or in
close collaboration with other members of the research groups.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: The application should include a CV (including in
particular any experience relevant to the position announced) as well as
the names and contact details of 2 references. The applicants should
also submit a list of publications and submitted manuscripts.
