<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:16px;background:transparent"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="2" style="font-size:11pt">The position seeks to strengthen ongoing activities in the laboratory of Bj�rn P. Pedersen on structure, related to
the function and mechanism of metabolite transporting membrane proteins (pedersenlab.dk). Exact project will be shaped out in dialogue with top runners. The laboratory's interest is the interplay between structure and function of transmembrane transport processes
with a focus on metabolite uptake systems.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:16px;background:transparent"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="2" style="font-size:11pt">Structures are determined by cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography and X-ray diffraction. This also involves
expression and purification of membrane proteins, or complexes, use of detergents, and nanodiscs, and assays of transport in vesicles and in cells. First rate facilities are available in a highly cooperative environment. The group is part of the Section of
Structural Biology at Aarhus University.</font></font></p>
