Dear colleagues, We invite applications for a
Ph.D. position in Structural Virology in the lab of Thomas Krey, Institute of Biochemistry, University of Luebeck (Germany). Our group is interested in the study of viruses that constitute a global public health and/or veterinary concern and uses mostly structural biology/biophysical techniques with a special focus on X-ray crystallography and more recently also cryo electron microscopy. The structural knowledge gained from our experiments can be used for structure-based design of antivirals and/or vaccines, i.e., has a direct translational potential. The collaborative project of interest aims at the structural characterization of a γ-herpesviral protein that plays a key role for the control of the complement system and the position is available immediately. We: • Are structural virologists with a special interest in how viruses manipulate the host’s immune response • Use a wide range of methodologies including but not limited to protein biochemistry, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) • Offer state-of-the-art equipment in protein purification and crystallization • Provide an international, interdisciplinary, exciting and stimulating scientific environment at the University of Luebeck • Have access to · An on-campus FACS facility with single-cell sequencing instrumentation and a Next-Generation Sequencing platform · Excellent biophysical instrumentation (Biacore, SEC-MALLS, DLS, ITC, AUC) · A state-of-the-art cryo EM platform at the CSSB in Hamburg You: • Are interested in structural virology • Hold a Master degree in a relevant field and have profound practical and theoretical knowledge in protein biochemistry • Enjoy working both on your own and as part of an international and interdisciplinary team • Like to visit international conferences and present your data • Are a creative and enthusiastic individual committed to solve problems • Experience in protein purification, structural biology techniques (preferably X-ray crystallography) would be beneficial Please send a cover letter, CV, relevant certificates as well as names, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of at least two references in a single PDF file to Thomas Krey (k...@biochem.uni-luebeck.de<mailto:k...@biochem.uni-luebeck.de>).
