Post doc position – Structure-function relationships of recombinant caseins

This postdoctoral position focuses on investigating the structure-function relationships of recombinant caseins, which are milk proteins with significant nutritional and industrial importance. The role requires advanced expertise in protein biochemistry, molecular biology, and recombinant protein expression techniques. Candidates should have a strong background in structural biology methods such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and possibly X-ray crystallography or NMR to analyze protein conformation and dynamics. Experience in protein engineering and recombinant DNA technology is essential to manipulate casein variants and study their functional properties. Familiarity with analytical techniques to assess protein interactions, solubility, and stability will be important. The position likely demands skills in experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation within the context of dairy science or food biochemistry. A PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related discipline is expected, with a focus on protein structure-function studies. Strong communication skills for scientific reporting and collaboration within interdisciplinary teams are also valuable. Overall, the ideal candidate will combine deep technical knowledge of recombinant protein production and structural analysis with practical experience in studying casein proteins to elucidate their functional mechanisms.
