Offer Description
The general objective of this line of research is to continue efforts to understand oxidoreductases classified as auxiliary activity enzymes (AA) of the AA3 (cellobiose dehydrogenase, CDH), AA9 and AA16 (lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, LPMOs) families using computational analyses and construction of mutants. The particular objective of the project involves carrying out point mutations or obtaining new sequences in order to understand the interaction between these proteins.
The candidate will be based at the University of São Paulo's Lorena School of Engineering in Brazil; he/she must have a doctorate in Biotechnology, Genetics, Molecular Biology or related areas, desirable experience in bioinformatics and basic molecular techniques: extraction and isolation of nucleic acids and proteins, PCR, transformation; and advanced: Cassette assembly, DNA assembly in vivo and in vitro. The position also requires a leadership profile, motivation and independence to work with students at master's and doctoral levels. For computational analyses, the post-doctoral student will interact with Prof. Sam Hay from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) in the UK. International experience will be an advantage.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 9,047.40 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.
Interested parties should send their application to Prof. Segato with the following documentation: curriculum summary in the FAPESP format , a letter expressing the reasons for interest in the position and indication of two names with e-mails (references), which will be consulted as a recommendation.
