Description

A Postdoc position is available at the Institute of Biology at the University of Tromsø, Norway, from 01. January 2008 for three years. The position will be financed by the Norwegian Research Council in connection with the research project: “Functional and structural characterization of the membrane-integrated plastid phosphate translocators” within the Research Council`s FUGE program. The project is based on close collaborations with NORSTRUCT, a Norwegian competence center in Structural Biology, and with two groups in Germany.
The main topic of the project is the determination of the structure of the plastid phosphate transporters. The project will include expression in yeast and purification of the proteins, crystallization and X-ray analysis.
