<https://www.maxperutzlabs.ac.at/research/research-groups/djinovic>in
the Department for Structural and Computational Biology, Max Perutz
Laboratories of the University of Vienna, Austria.
*The Position *
You will provide specific technical support to a research projects
related to structural biology of muscle Z-disk interactome, and assist
in the lab on a variety of biochemical, biophysical and structural
studies, including gene cloning, protein expression, purification, and
characterization of purified protein by various biochemical and
biophysical techniques. You are also expected to help with the
management of the laboratory, together with lab-manager of the research
group.

*The Laboratory*
Djinovic Lab
<https://www.maxperutzlabs.ac.at/research/research-groups/djinovic>isinterested
in the molecular mechanisms underlying the architecture and assembly of
thestriated musclesarcomeres, in particular Z-discs. We use an
integrative structural biology approach combining biophysical and
high-resolution structural studies (macromolecular crystallography being
the main technique) with lower resolution approaches (small-angle
scattering, electron microscopy) combined with chemical cross-linking
mass-spectrometry and NMR.
*The Institute*
The Department for Structural and Computational Biology
<https://structbio.univie.ac.at/>is equipped with state-of-the-art
instrumentation/facilities to carry out all steps from cloning, protein
expression and purification, to X-ray diffraction, biomolecular NMR, as
well as for a series of biophysical and optical spectroscopy techniques.
The Department is part of the Max Perutz Labs
<https://www.maxperutzlabs.ac.at/>, established by the University of
Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna to provide an environment
for excellent, internationally recognized research and education in the
field of Molecular Biology. Dedicated to a mechanistic understanding of
fundamental biomedical processes, scientists at the Max Perutz Labs aim
to link breakthroughs in basic research to advances in human health.
Perutz Labs are located on Vienna Campus Biocenter
<https://www.viennabiocenter.org/>, which is the largest life sciences
hub in Austria. Vienna Campus Biocenter offers access to excellent
Scientific Core Facilities
<https://www.viennabiocenter.org/facilities/>. Vienna is frequently
ranked as the world’s best city to live in. It is a United Nations city
with a large English-speaking community.
*The Offer*
We offer a challenging position in dynamic and multidisciplinary team
and contribute to our research on fascinating Z-discs assembly within a
highly international environment. This is a 30-35 h/week post for up to
6 years, subject to successful evaluation after one year. The post is
funded by the University of Vienna, and is available for *start in
October 2020*. This position is remunerated with a minimum gross salary
accordingto collective agreement of Univ. Vienna, 33.903,80 Euro for 40
hours/year, definite salary depends on the previous experiences.
*Application details*: if you want to join an exciting project and
become a member of our interdisciplinary team, please compile an
application package containing:
·Letter of interest
·Your CV
·Contact details for two references
and submit your application to *Kristina Djinovic Carugo *(to /e-mail:
*[email protected]*/) by *September 21^st , 2020. *Review of
applications will begin immediately.
