Dear CCP4BB-Users,
On behalf of Prof. Thilo Stehle I would like to post a job offer for two
PhD positions (see below) at the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry.
Best Regards,
Georg
*Two PhD positions at the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry**
*
We offer two PhD positions in the group of Professor Stehle
at the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry in Tübingen. Our
group is interested in the atomic details of interactions between
pathogens and hosts in order to describe the mechanisms of pathogen
engagement of target cells and to provide a basis for vaccine
and drug design.
The successful candidates will work on the structural and
functional characterization of virus-glycan interactions and on
the structural and functional analysis of enzymes involved in
cell wall synthesis and degradation in pathogenic bacteria,
respectively. We are searching for highly motivated individuals with a
Master degree in a relevant field (e. g. biochemistry or chemistry). The
ideal candidates will have profound practical and theoretical knowledge
in construct design and optimization, protein production and
purification. Experience in crystallization, structure determination and
other biophysical methods is an advantage. We expect excellent
communication skills, willingness to work in a team, a strong
dedication and motivation and the ability to design, plan and
interpret experiments in an independent manner. Fluency in English is
expected and a good working knowledge of German is a plus but not mandatory.
The salary will be based on German federal TV-L 13 (65%). The
positions are fully funded and available immediately.
Applications will be considered until 18th August 2017. The
University of Tübingen is an equal-opportunity employer.
Applications of women are explicitly encouraged. Applications
including contact information (E-mail, phone, or Skype), CV,
research experience, copy of the Master degree certificate, and
contact information of two persons for references should be send as
single pdf document (max. size 3 MB) to thilo.stehle[at]uni-tuebingen.de.
