Offer Description

IBS is a research unit affiliated to Grenoble Alpes University, CNRS and CEA.
It currently employs 280 people, including numerous students and post-doctoral fellows from around the world.
It boasts high-performance, internationally competitive facilities and platforms in biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology.
The Institute is a founding member of the Partnership for Structural Biology with prestigious pan-European institutes: the European X-ray synchrotron source, the European neutron scattering center, the Grenoble station of EMBL, all located nearby and offering a strong international environment.
In this context, the ELMA group (website: http://www.ibs.fr/recherche/groupes-de-recherche/groupe-extremophiles-e… ) specializes in the study of the molecular and cellular adaptations that enable micro-organisms to colonize the most extreme environments (salt lakes, abysses, hydrothermal springs, etc.).

Under the supervision of B. Franzetti, the ELMA (Extremophiles and Large molecular assemblies) team comprises 5 researchers, 1 technician, 2 post-docs and 3 PhD students.

Activités

Preparation of cell fractions from extremophilic cells; biophysical studies of the effect of stress on proteins (fluorometry, photometry, CD, etc.); FPLC and HPLC chromatography; MS/MS proteomic analysis; structure prediction (alphafold, etc.) and bioinformatics analysis of proteomic or structural data.

You will have a background in protein purification combined with analysis in biophysics and/or structural biology.

Additional expertise in proteomic analysis and bioinformatics is desirable.

You will be interested in basic research related to environmental adaptation and exobiology.

You have an interest in teamwork.
