The University of Gothenburg is seeking highly motivated and talented individuals to join International Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structure Determination of Membrane Proteins.

This fellowship is open to postdoctoral candidates who expertise in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and structural biology to work on the structural determination of membrane proteins.

The Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Gothenburg is a leading research and educational institution in Sweden. Their research and educational programs are focused on understanding the fundamental knowledge of the living cell, including how it works, what it consists of, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of microorganisms.

Why to join this University of Gothenburg? The university applies the knowledge to elucidate the causes of diseases and find new ways to diagnose and treat them. With approximately 360 employees and assets totaling 450 million SEK, the Institute is a vibrant and stimulating environment for cutting-edge research and education.
