The project is studies with half time (resonance) Raman studies and second half on other spectroscopic techniques of several iron proteins (heme and none heme), other metallo and radical proteins and inorganic (biomimetic) models studies with Raman/IR, other vibrational spectroscopies, EPR, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and start setting up new techniques like magnetic circular dichroism at UiO if we could obtain funding for magnet and instrument. We will use advanced spectroscopic/magnetic techniques, kinetics and other active site/protein structure methods. We continue on single protein-crystal spectroscopy and crystallography techniques developed for our 1.20-1.35 Ã… resolution reactive oxygen-iron species, using newly installed Raman (Horiba JY triple mode T6400 with Spectra Physics lasers) and EPR instruments at Depts of Chemistry and Physics.
The project will be conducted in Professor K. Kristoffer Andersson’s research group. Prof. Andersson speaks French also. At the moment there are one postdoctoral fellow, three Ph.D. students, and one MSc student in the group. The incoming candidate will closely collaborate with two Ph.D. students.

The applicant should have a Ph. D. or equivalent degree in one of the following fields: structural molecular biology, physical biochemistry, molecular biophysics or bio-inorganic chemistry. Applicants that will complete their Ph D degree by end of August or first week of September may also apply. Earliest starting date 1 of July 2007 applicant should start at IMBV before middle of September. Experience working with protein or bio-inorganic chemistry is also required. Good applicants that also have advanced optical and/or magnetic skills or previous worked on metalloproteins will be preferred. Applicants may be requested to come for an interview. Applicants may be also be considered for the second post doctoral with 100% biological Raman.

Applications should include a statement summarizing the applicant’s scientific work and interest, curriculum vitae and three sets of certified copies of certificates, and copies of co-authored publications.
