The research area and duties
The project is part of a five-year EU-Horizon2020 project, Bio4Comp. The overall aim is upscaling of a recently published proof of principle device for parallel computation aiming to overcome shortcomings of conventional serial computers in solving combinatorial problems. In the device, myosin propelled actin filaments or kinesin propelled microtubules, solve problems by traversing nanofabricated mazes of different geometry. The focus of the current subproject is modulation of actin filament dynamics with respect to polymerization-depolymerization kinetics and flexural rigidity, e.g. using actin binding proteins and genetic or chemical engineering. Related tasks will be methods for identity labelling of individual actin filaments. The postdoc will work in Kalmar but with extensive interactions with project partners and sub-contracting labs (B Bugyi, Pecs, Hungary).
Qualification requirements
We look for exceptional candidates with a PhD degree in a subject area of relevance for the project (biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, biomedicine or similar) and who is prepared for innovative developments of current lines of research
Other assessment grounds
Experience of research work with focus on actin/myosin preparations, experimental studies of actin and/or actin binding proteins using fluorescence microscopy and in vitro motility assays are merits. In addition, the Post Doc should have a high proficiency in written and spoken English, be able to solve problems, and have the ability to work independently as well as interact well in a research group.
Terms of employment Full-time, fixed term (2 years), employment starts on March 1, 2018.
Research area: Biomedical sciences
Location, until further notice: Department of Chemistry and Biomedical Sciences in Kalmar
