*PhD Position: Structural biology of protein-protein interactions in the
muscle Z-disk*

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on structural
characterization of important protein complexes centered on major
players of the Z-disk of striated muscle: alpha-actinin and filamin.
Binary and higher complexes with interacting partners or domains of
interacting partners will be produced for structural analysis. The
individual proteins or their domains planned for this study are already
available in a form of clone or expressed protein. An integrated
approach will be adopted to gain structural information on target
complexes, by using complementary structural biology techniques.

The successful applicant will work in the Group of Kristina Djinovic
Carugo at the Department of Biomolecular Structural Chemistry at Max F.
Perutz Laboratories, University of Vienna, in a stimulating scientific
environment of Campus Vienna Biocenter. The Department is equipped to
carry out all steps from gene cloning, to structural analysis including
X-ray diffraction facility, biomolecular NMR facilities, and a series of
biophysical and optical spectroscopy techniques. The Group has access to
the high throughput nano-drop crystallisation and crystal imaging
robotics operational as well as to major European synchrotron high
brilliance X-ray sources.

*Qualifications and experience: *Candidates should have a recent Masters
degree in Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Biophysics or related.
Skills in either molecular biology or protein chemistry & purification
or protein crystallography would be an asset.

*Closing date:* Review of applications begins *December 5^th , 2008* and
will continue until the position is filled.

To apply for this position, please email a detailed CV, description of
research experience and interests; arrange for two letters of
recommendation to be sent to Kristina Djinovic Carugo via email <
*kristina.djinovic@univie.ac.at* >.
