Postdoc Positions in Cryo EM: MPI 1450 views

The Department of Structural Biochemistry at Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology seeks to fill Postdoc Positions in Cryo-EM (m/f/d). The positions are available immediately and are initially limited to 2 years.

About the positions:

• The research focuses on structural and functional studies of macromolecular protein complexes by single particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM), electron cryotomography (cryo-ET), X-ray crystallography, biochemical and biophysical methods.
• There are three projects available in the lab concentrating on the structural organization of muscles, cytoskeletal proteins and bacterial toxin complexes using single particle cryo-EM and/or cryo-ET.

Requirements:

• Candidates must hold an excellent PhD in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics or Physics.
• Experience in electron microscopy, in particular single particle cryo-EM or cryo-ET is not essential but will be considered highly advantageous.
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English and excellent computational skills are required.

Application:
