Group Leader Structural Biology
Grade: 9
EMBL site: EMBL Hamburg
Commencing date: To be determined
Job description: EMBL is building an integrated facility in structural
biology at the PETRA-3 ring at DESY, Hamburg. The optical properties of
PETRA-3 will allow the operation of world-class synchrotron radiation
beamlines from 2010/11, providing an ideal research environment for
future challenges in structural biology. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] facility will
include three beamlines with applications in biological macromolecular
crystallography and small angle X-ray scattering, a state-of-the-art
facility for sample preparation, including a facility for
high-throughput crystallization, and an infrastructure for automatic
data interpretation.The successful candidate will utilise the present
and future facilities at EMBL-Hamburg for most challenging projects in
structural biology. Possible projects could focus on large protein
complexes, integral membrane proteins, or difficult proteins with
special fold properties. The project proposal should ideally be of
biomedical relevance. The candidate will also lead the present and
future sample preparation facilities at EMBL-Hamburg, which will become
an integrated component of the future [EMAIL PROTECTED] infrastructure.
Contract: An initial contract of 5 years will be offered to the
successful candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at
the time of review.
