on behalf of Prof. Michael Sattler:
JOB ADVERTISEMENT:
The CRC 1035 “Conformational Control of Protein Function by conformational
switching“ investigates conformational transitions of proteins and protein
complexes using various biophysical and biochemical techniques. To
complement existing expertise in X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy
and electron microscopy, Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) will be
established at the Department Chemistry of the TU München. To support SAXS
experiments, data analysis and the application in the research of the CRC
1035, a position for a
Research Scientist
is available, with a starting date as soon as possible and for an initial
duration until June 30, 2016.
Job description
• Supervision and operation of a new table-top SAXS instrument
• Support of users of the CRC 1035 for SAXS data acquisition and analysis
• Implementation and development of SAXS methods for analysis of
biological macromolecules for studies of conformation and dynamics in
solution
• Collaboration in multidisciplinary research projects
• Interaction and collaboration with the Central Analytics Facilities at
the TUM Department Chemie
Requirements
• Doctoral degree in physics, chemistry, biochemistry or related areas
• Extensive research experience in the area of biological small angle
scattering, preferably with a focus on soluble protein complexes: use of
SAXS instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis
• Independent and responsible work, highly motivated
• Efficient communication and teamwork with an international team of
scientists
• Fluency in English and skills in computation and IT
Salary is according to TV-L E13. Handicapped applicants will be given
priority if equally qualified. TU München intends to increase the
proportion of women; therefore applications of women are particularly
welcome.
