Description

The position will involve the study the characterization, conformation and contacts of multi-protein complexes involved in protein trafficking in laboratory and/or pathogenic bacterial strains. Successful candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in structural proteomics including HDX-MS, native and Ion Mobility-MS, cross-linking-MS or in bottom-up or top-down proteomics. Available MS equipment includes a Waters Synapt G2 equipped with a nanoAcquity UPLC and HDX capabilities, a Thermo Orbitrap Q Exactive equipped with a Dionex3000 nanoUPLC, a Brucker microQ-TOF, and an UltraflexII MALDI-ToFToF mass spectrometer.
