Postdoc position at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, Munich, see posting below...
The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry is one of the leading research institutes within the fields of biochemistry, cell- and structural biology, and biomedicine. With its ten scientific departments, twelve junior research groups, and a staff of around 800 people, the institute is one of the largest institutes within the Max Planck Society. Postdoc Structural Biology/Crystallography (Walther Lab) We are looking for a highly motivated and creative Postdoc for structural biology research in basic cell biological questions. In particular we are working on eisosome structure and assembly. Eisosomes are large protein complexes at the plasma membrane that mark sites of endocytosis. The major goal of the project will be to elucidate the structure of the main eisosome components by X-ray crystallography. In addition, we will employ a combination of biochemical, cell biological and biophysical methods to characterize assembly and function of eisosomes. We provide a very friendly, enthusiastic and supportive environment with full access to all facilities and structural biology resources of the Max Planck institutes. The initial appointment will be for 2 years with the possibility of extension. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more disabled individuals and especially encourages them to apply.
