Postdoctoral Scientist in Protein Crystallography
A postdoctoral staff position is available at the Institute of
Biological Chemistry of the Technical University Munich starting as
soon as possible for initially three years, with the option for
prolongation.
Projects are focused at aspects of rational and combinatorial protein
design and at the structural study of plant proteins, either with
regulatory functions or with interesting enzymatic activities.
Applicants should have experience in protein crystallization and
diffraction data collection as well as in molecular biology
techniques.
The in-house X-ray facility includes a Rigaku rotating anode
generator with Osmic confocal layer optics, MAR imaging plate
detector and an Oxford cryostream liquid nitrogen cooling device. In
addition, there is robotic crystallisation and imaging equipment.
The position will also involve teaching activities, especially in
conjunction with our new BSc/MSc curriculum Molecular Biotechnology,
and there may be an opportunity to apply for the academic degree of
'Habilitation'.
Our research group provides a fruitful environment with strong
background and state of the art equipment for protein engineering,
biochemistry, and recombinant gene expression. The institute is
located at the biological sciences campus of TUM in
Freising-Weihenstephan, north of Munich and close to the
international airport. Our laboratory is member of the recently
established Cluster of Excellence 'Munich Center for integrated
Protein Science - CIPSM'.
Applications including CV and two letters of recommendation or
addresses of references should be sent to: Prof. Dr. Arne Skerra,
