In a joint project of the Goethe University Frankfurt/Germany and the
Max-Planck-Institute of Biophysics and funded by the Cluster of
Excellence for Macromolecular Complexes, we have an open position for a
Postdoc working on structural characterization of membrane protein
complexes by X-ray free electron laser (X-FEL) crystallography. We are
looking for a highly motivated person who is particularly interested in
developing new approaches for crystallization and structural analysis of
large membrane protein complexes. The candidate must have a strong
background in structural biology and experience in membrane protein
purification and crystallization. Experience in collection and
processing of X-ray diffraction data as well as preferentially also in
X-FEL crystallography is desirable.
We offer a highly stimulating and well-equipped research environment,
integrated in the life science campus Riedberg with its exceptional
expertise and interest in macromolecular (membrane and soluble)
complexes (http://www.cef-mc.de <http://www.cef-mc.de/>).
The position is available from July 2013, and the initial appointment is
for 1 year, with an option for extension. Consideration of applications
starts when this job advertisement appears.
This call closes on July 15, 2013.
Please submit your application including CV and further information
(list of publications, contact of three referees, etc.) per e-mail to:
