The researcher will receive training in the Connell/Fucini groups (https://frozenribosomes.com/) related to the study of novel translational inhibitors that target the translational machinery with the possibility to develop part of the project within a very active network of international collaborations (Germany, UK, Japan, Italy). The highly multi-disciplinary nature of the project will allow the researcher to receive training in complementary approaches ranging from molecular biology, protein/ribosome purification and biochemistry to state-of-the-art structural biology i.e. NMR, X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. The prospective researcher will receive training in cryo-EM data acquisition on both our home microscope as well as at national and international cryo-EM facilities (Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands) to gain access to the most advanced cryo-EM technologies. Training in cryo-EM data processing will be provided by the Connell/Fucini lab and supplemented by participation in international workshops. The researcher will also be trained in the application of high-performance computing and scripting (shell/Python) to cryo-EM. As cryo-EM is a rapidly emerging technique these skills are currently highly sought out in both the academic and industrial sector boosting the research’s future career prospects.

Although we are open to accepting cryo-EM projects directly from the applicant the research conducted in the Connell group aims at understanding ribosomal assembly and protein synthesis initiation mechanisms with a particular eye on exploiting these steps for developing or improving existing clinically relevant antibiotics.

CIC bioGUNE (http://www.cicbiogune.es/) is a key research center within the national and international scientific landscape and has been recognized as “Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence” by Spanish government. CIC bioGUNE is an Endorsing Institution of the "European Charter for Researchers & Code of Conduct for Recruitment of Researchers", guaranteeing the best framework conditions to contribute to the professional/personal development of researchers.

Ribosome Structural Biology lab is looking for highly-motivated experienced researcher of any nationality interested in applying for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship call (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019). Individual fellowships provide opportunities to experienced researchers to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to enhance the creative and innovative potential, wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility.

The Experienced Researcher must be, at the date of the call deadline (11 September 2019), in possession of a doctoral degree or has at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience.

Standard: The researcher cannot have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than 12 months in the three years immediately before the call deadline.
Reintegration: researchers who wish to return directly from a Third Country and reintegrate in a longer term research position in Europe. The researcher cannot have resided or carried out the main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than three years in the five years immediately before the call deadline.
Career Restart: researchers who want to resume research in Europe after a break in research. The researcher cannot have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than 36 months in the 5 years immediately before the call deadline.

Candidates should provide:

- Motivation letter (max 1 page)

- CV (max 4 pages)

- Contact information of three referees
