Postdoctoral Position at the Institute of Protein Biochemistry, Ulm
University (Germany),
Group Prof. Dr. M. Fändrich
The Institute of Protein Biochemistry
(_https://www.uni-ulm.de/nawi/nawi-pbc.html_) investigates the molecular
basis of amyloid diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and systemic
amyloidosis. We use a broad range of techniques from protein
biochemistry, structural biology (in particular cryo-EM) to cell
biology. Our strong ties to several medical institutions enable us to
uniquely link structural biology with patient and animal samples. We
seek for new postdoctoral co-workers with a strong background in cryo-EM
or X-ray crystallography to strengthen our cryo-EM projects on amyloid
fibril structures. Projects may involve protein purification and sample
preparation, cryo-EM imaging, single particle reconstruction, structural
modelling and the combination of structural and biological/medical data.
