European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and GSK invite applications to recruit an outstanding postdoctoral fellow to explore the use of cryo-EM to study small-molecule ligand-bound structures of chromatin complexes.
Research areas:
- Imaging and structural methods (high resolution light microscopy, cryo-EM, tissue imaging)
- Genomics (quantitative genetics, chromatin and RNA biology, microbiome),
- Proteomics
- Metabolomics
- Biosensors and microfluidics
- Embryonic development
Duration: 2 years
About the position:
- The position is part of collaboration between EMBL and GSK.
- Selected candidate will join the Christoph Müller group at the Structural and Computational Biology Unit at EMBL Heidelberg, but will also closely interact with our industry partner GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
- The postdoc fellow will be part of the EMBL Postdoctoral Program with access to training, mentorship and career development opportunities.
- Selected candidate will also benefit from participation in the GSK post-doctoral program, formal mentorship and various trainings/seminar series in drug discovery.
Qualifications and requirements:
- Applicant must hold a Ph.D. in Structural Biology or Biochemistry.
- Applicant with solid previous experience in cryo-EM and is interested in utilizing and further developing cryo-EM methodology for studying epigenetic targets and visualizing small molecule ligands in the drug discovery process will be preferred.
- Applicant must have exceptional motivation and commitment, the ability to work independently as well as in a team and excellent technical, organizational and management skills.
