We are seeking to recruit a leader for junior research group with a focus on basic mechanisms underlying stem cell differentiation. The position will be based in the Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany. The appointed candidate will report to Prof. Dietmar J. Manstein.
The specific tasks associated with this position will involve the use of computational approaches in combination with X-ray crystallography to develop specific inhibitors for proteins that are known to mediate contacts between molecular motors, cytoskeletal filaments and structures that interact with them such as focal adhesions and centrosomes. The ideal candidate should have prior post-doctoral experience and meet the following requirements: A PhD in a related area, i.e. X-ray crystallography; experience in molecular modeling and simulation of biological macromolecules; excellent knowledge of relevant programs for treatment of the ligand/protein complex, homology modeling, drug design. Good interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively both within the research group and with other collaborators. An ability to develop independent research ideas is highly desirable.
