The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology seeks to fill a Postdoctoral Position in X-ray crystallography The position is available immediately in the newly established Department of Structural Biochemistry (Director: Stefan Raunser). It is initially limited to 3 years. Job description:
Our research focuses on structural and functional studies of macromolecular complexes by single particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM), X-ray crystallography, biochemical and biophysical methods. As part of a project that is funded by an ERC consolidator grant, the candidate will determine the structural organization of bacterial toxin complexes using X-ray crystallography. Requirements: The successful candidate should be highly motivated and have an excellent PhD in structural biology, biophysics or physics and previous experience in X-ray crystallography and in membrane protein biochemistry. Strong written and oral communication skills in English are considered. Payment: Payment depends on personal conditions and qualification according to the directive of TVöD. Social benefits correspond to those of the public service. Application: The Max Planck Society (MPG) is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The MPG aims to increase the percentage of women on its scientific staff and therefore strongly encourages women to apply.
