Protein Crystallographer Position (Post-Doc)
A position for a crystallographer at the post-doc level is available in
Dr. Kirill Alexandrov’s research group at the Max-Planck-Institute for
Molecular Physiology (Dortmund, Germany). The lab is focused on the
development of new approaches for the production and biophysical
analysis of posttranslationally modified proteins and multiprotein
complexes. As the primary model system we use the molecular machinery
regulating intracellular vesicular traffic with an emphasis on RabGTPase
interacting and modifying proteins. The laboratory closely collaborates
with the chemistry department at the same institute and the industry on
several projects. Details of ongoing research and recent publications
can be found under
http://www.mpi-dortmund.mpg.de/departments/dep3/alexandr_rak/01/01.html .
We are seeking a PhD graduate to determine the crystal structures of
several important protein complexes. Candidates should have experience
in crystal structure determination as well as an interest in the
biophysics of protein:protein interaction. The position provides an
outstanding training program in protein biochemistry, structure and
molecular biology in a generously funded, dynamic, and team-oriented
research program.
The MPI has outstanding facilities for molecular biology; protein
expression, purification, and biochemistry; and protein crystallography.
The department of Physical Biochemistry has large expertise in analysis
of biomolecular interactions using fluorescent spectroscopy and other
major biophysical methods. The candidate is expected to benefit form the
automated high-throughput protein production platform that is being
established as a part of Systems Biology initiative at the MPI. Computer
and hardware support are provided by core facilities and by a group
leader level X-ray specialist.
The position is available for 2 years initially. Housing and other
living expenses in Dortmund are very reasonable.
Please send your CV, a summary of research experience and interests, and
names, addresses, e-mail and telephone numbers of 3 references to the
address given below. E-mail applications will be preferred.
