hela Sverige AstraZeneca is a major international healthcare business engaged in the research, development, manufacture and marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals and the supply of healthcare services. But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. At AstraZeneca, we're proud to have a unique workplace culture that inspires innovation and collaboration. Here, employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives - and are made to feel valued, energized and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.
Project Title: Membrane Protein Nanocrystallography.
Post Doc Location: AstraZeneca R&D Mölndal, Sweden.
Description of Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for a Ph.D. scientist to join the Discovery Sciences department, a global organisation supporting all innovative Medicines Units (iMeds) within AstraZeneca. The project Membrane Protein Nanocrystallography (NanoMem) is part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network funded by the European Commission and is a close collaboration between ten different laboratories in Europe from both Universities and Industries. The aim is to exploit synchrotron based micro-focus X-ray beams to address challenging diffraction studies from small membrane protein crystals and the revolutionary new possibilities created by the Xray Free Electron lasers which combine ultrafast X-ray pulses with high brilliance focusing capabilities. NanoMem will exploit the new scientific opportunities created by these technical capabilities through close collaboration between structure biologists, beamline engineers, software developers and industrial partners like AstraZeneca and others.
NanoMem is an interdisciplinary training network incorporating membrane protein crystallisation, microcrystal and nanocrystal preparation and handling technologies, microfocus diffraction, software development, strcucture based drug design and serial femtosecond crystallography. The postdoc is expected to contribute to the overall objectives of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network NanoMem through networking, secondments and joint experiments with the other partners involved.
The role's major responsibilities
Develop and explore approaches to prepare small well diffracting membrane protein crystals.
Show strong initiative in developing ideas and bringing them forward to functional use within AstraZeneca and within the NanoMem network.
Communicate results both within AstraZeneca, the NanoMem Collaboration and externally at meetings and through publications.
Develop skills in and understanding of the drug discovery process.
Work collaboratively with other experts within Discovery Sciences, the iMED organisation and within the NanoMem network.
Minimum experience
A recent PhD in one or more of the following areas:
Biochemistry focussing on membrane proteins
Structure Biology with an interest in membrane protein
