Located in the Grenoble European Photon Neutron (EPN) Campus (ESRF/ILL/EMBL/IBS), the Institute of Structural Biology (IBS) is a national and international leading center in the field of integrated structural biology. The IBS aims to develop structural biology science, a crucial field of research for understanding fundamental biological mechanisms. It contains 12 state-of-the-art facilities.
As a mixed research unit (CEA-CNRS-UGA), the IBS is composed of 21 research groups, each one offering a multi-disciplinary approach, at the frontiers of biology, physics, and chemistry. Nearly 300 people work there: researchers, doctoral students, engineers, and technicians in a multicultural and international environment.
The recruited person will join the Dynamop group which focuses on the study of the structural dynamics of biological macromolecules: Dynamop Group .
