Postdoctoral position in Structural Characterization of mRNA Transport Complexes
Asymmetric mRNA localization is widely used to control the spatial distribution of proteins within the cell, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. A fully funded ERC Postdoctoral position is available immediately to investigate the mRNA localization pathway at the molecular level by means of biochemistry and X-ray crystallography and to gain insights into its function in development. The structural work will be complemented by biochemical, biophysical and in vivo data. Our group is located in an excellent scientific environment on the Max Planck Campus in Tübingen. http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/research/research-groups/fulvia-bono.html Qualifications: High motivation and a strong background in biochemistry and crystallography are essential. A keen interest in RNA biology is desirable. Applications: Applications should include a CV and list of publications, summary of work experience, a one-page motivation letter and contact information of three referees. Please send applications to fulvia.b...@tuebingen.mpg.de. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. It seeks to increase the percentage of female employees in areas where they are underrepresented. The Max Planck Society is also committed to employing more individuals with disabilities, and disabled applicants are preferred if qualification is equal.
