Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer DescriptionThe recently established Basque Resource for Electron Microscopy (BREM) at IBF-FBB houses a Krios G4 (ThermoScientific) with a Gatan BioContinuum Imaging Filter and K3 direct electron detector for high resolution data collection, as well as comprehensive cryo-specimen preparation equipment. It also includes a focused-ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) Aquilos2 (ThermoScientific). Furthermore, BREM will install a specimen optimization cryo-microscope at the IBF-FBB in 2025. The research will focus on the molecular mechanisms of solute transport across cell membranes involved in human disease. This project aims to uncover the structural and functional determinants governing solute transport via active transmembrane carriers. We use a combination of cutting-edge electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) and functional assays to better understand solute homeostasis and the pathologies associated with solute transport dysfunction. Our lab provides training in membrane protein biochemistry, biophysical characterization, and high-resolution cryo-EM. In addition, there will be opportunities for short stays in partner international research institutions. This is a full-time, four-year position funded by The Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. The contract will be part of the grant PID2023-146771NB-I00, funded by MCIU/AEI/10. 13039/501100011033 and funded by the FSE+. Required BackgroundWe seek highly qualified applicants, preferably with MSc in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, Biomedicine or related disciplines. Good written and oral communication in English is required. Candidates must comply with the corresponding requisites established in the "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2023" call of the MCIU. Evaluation CriteriaCriterion 1 will assess the candidate's academic and scientific track record (up to 50 points), including scientific contributions (up to 45 points) and the impact of stays at prestigious institutions (up to 5 points). Criterion 2 will evaluate the candidate's suitability for research activities (up to 50 points), considering their prior training, experience, and the added value they will bring to the research project. Application ProcedureWe are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity. Applications should be addressed through the Biofisika website contact page (http://biofisika. Org/contact/), adding the following subject: [Job Application: 125_ITascon FPI]. It is recommended that applications are made as soon as possible as they will be considered upon arrival. Applications in a single pdf file must include:Curriculum Vitae. A motivation letter. The contact of 2 referees. #J-18808-Ljbffr
