The Mitochondrial Inner Membrane Laboratory (MIM-Lab) at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, is inviting applications for a fully-funded postdoc position for 2 years and 7 months to work on mitochondrial membrane protein complexes using structural biology methods, cryo-ET and STA.

JOB DESCRIPTION

This position will involve experimental planning, design, execution and analysis to elucidate the composition, structure and spatial organization of mitochondrial membrane protein complexes in disease mitochondria. The main focus for this position will be on human mitochondria with Barth syndrome. The MIM-Lab officially started in autumn 2023, so you will be joining a young group and you will have ample opportunities to develop the projects and your own research career goals.

The position entails:

• Culture human cells and isolate mitochondria
• Cryo-ET and STA for structure determination
• Ultrastructural analysis of mitochondrial membranes
• Develop cryo-ET methods and workflows in MIM-Lab

Examples of other responsibilities (not limited to below listed):

• Establish and develop experimental protocols and pipelines
• Be active in presenting your work in various meetings (locally at the department, national and international meetings, and conferences)
• Publish results in international journals
• Work closely with the PI to help build a sound and inspiring culture in the lab
• Assist with daily supervision of junior researchers and students
• General implementation of the lab
