About the Workshop

Mass spectrometry (MS) is becoming increasingly popular in the eld of structural biology for analyzing protein structures and for mapping protein-protein interactions. Various MS-based approaches have been developed over the years to provide insights into the structural properties of protein complexes. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to expose students and researchers interested in structural biology to the arsenal of tools o ered by structural mass spectrometry.

Registration deadline – February 15, 2017

University of Bordeaux international post-doctoral program

The University of Bordeaux opened a competitive call for its international post-doctoral program (beginning of contract: July to December 2017).

Excellent candidates within 4 years of obtaining their PhD (+ parental leave conditions) are welcome to apply.

Call details: http://idex.u-bordeaux.fr/n/Talents/International-Post-Doctorates/r3137.html

The research project must be supported by a host lab in Bordeaux. My team is willing to support one candidate, with a project in the broad fields of structural mass spectrometry, nucleic acids structure, and/or non-covalent assemblies.

Call deadline: November 27th, 2016.

Interested candidates can email me a CV and a half-page project outline, preferably one month in advance of the call.

I would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to potential applicants.

 

Best regards,

 

Valérie Gabelica.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the Reprogramming and Chromatin Group headed by Dr Petra Hajkova at the Clinical Sciences Centre (CSC) in Imperial College London. The group studies molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic reprogramming in vivo and in vitro (for further information, please visit http://www.csc.mrc.ac.uk/Research/Groups/EDC/ReprogrammingChromatin/)
 
We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate scientist experienced in the field of mass spectrometry to join our efforts to elucidate molecular mechanisms implicated in the dynamic changes in nucleic acid modifications observed in early mouse embryo, developing germ line and pluripotent stem cells. Our group operates our own QQQ LC/MS instrument (Agilent 6490) and focuses on cutting edge, ultra-sensitive detection of DNA and RNA modifications in minute biological samples (see Amouroux et al, Nat Cell Biol, 2016) .For informal enquiries please contact Dr Petra Hajkova (petra.hajkova@csc.mrc.ac.uk).
