Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated engineer or Master’s graduate to join the THIONICO project, as part of the interdisciplinary ARTEMIS program.

The goal of THIONICO is to biochemically and structurally characterize atypical poplar thioredoxins of unknown function that form oligomers in solution. This work will contribute to extend our understanding of the redox metabolism in plants.

The selected candidate will have to play a central role contributing to the development of the expression of protein oligomers in the plant-based eukaryotic system Nicotiana benthamiana and will participate in both their biochemical and structural characterization.

Responsibilities

In compliance with protocols available in the literature and laboratory and a rigorous quality approach, your tasks will include :

• Building constructs using modular cloning.
• Developing the N. benthamiana expression system for recombinant proteins.
• Investigating the biochemical activities and properties of the obtained protein complexes.
• Preparing samples for the structural analysis of the complexes.
• Contributing to the broader ARTEMIS operational challenge OC1 - Decipher the biology of the tree-microbiome systems.
