The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and the Leibniz-Institute for Molecular Pharmacology jointly operate three experimental stations for bio-macromolecular crystallography within the Joint Berlin MX-Laboratory cooperation at BESSY II, one of the world’s most modern synchrotron radiation sources for VUV and soft X-rays.
The Macromolecular Structure and Interaction Group of the Max-Delbrück-Center is seeking a Post Doctoral Research Assistant to conduct research on various structural biology / biochemistry projects of the MDC group (headed by Prof. Dr. Udo Heinemann). Additionally, the candidate shall work on the development of the automated diffraction data evaluation pipeline XDSAPP (www.helmholtz-berlin.de/bessy-mx<http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/bessy-mx>). The successful candidate will be involved in the operation of the BESSY II bio-macromolecular crystallography beamlines (headed by Dr. Uwe Müller & Dr. Manfred Weiss) and will take part in graduate student education. Initially, a three-year contract will be offered to the successful candidate with the possibility for an extension. The salary will be based on German federal TvOD. The position is available immediately, and applications will be considered until the position is filled. The MDC is an equal-opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity. Applications of women are explicitly encouraged. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in the biological, chemical or physical sciences and have a background in bio-macromolecular crystallography, biochemistry or computational sciences. The position also requires the documented ability to conduct independent research as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
