Dear Markus,
thank you for opening this discussion.
I'd like to add that in some countries, like France, where I work, this
goes often along with with 12 months contracts.
Imagine moving continent, eventually with family (yes, PostDocs happen
to have a family) just for a 12 months contract, under the conditions
you mentioned.
Sad, as you said, ... and I am quite sure that it has not always been
like that.
I wish all members of the BB a good mood,
Best,
gerlind

Dear PI s, and senior scientists' involved in recruitment,
Why do so many (especially postdoc) positions these days indicate:
Readiness for high workload
able to work independently but also effectively and collaboratively with other
lab member
Candidates should have a documented publication record in peer-reviewed
journals, able to work both independently and as an effective team member.
Do the candidates need to subtly understand that they need to work on
weekends or holidays? And what does it mean by independently and
collaboratively at the same time. Or is this a template from HR
departments.
Was it always like this in science world or we too need to work like
amazon warehouse workers (you can google it and see the pain)?
Saddened...

We are opening a new position for an upcoming European project.
*We are looking for an expert in scientific programming with experience in
scientific data processing for a European project focused on Standards for
Data Archival and Exploitation. *
Job description:
We offer attractive work connected to development of data management
infrastructure for biophysical data in the frame of an international
project at the Institute of Biotechnology in the centre of excellence
Biocev. The main responsibility lies in definition of data standards and
models for biophysical data, development of algorithms, design of user
interface, and realization of a pilot database of biophysical data. The
person is expected to actively participate in multilateral international
negotiations, to drive the tasks fulfillment in collaboration with the
local international partners, and to present the results.
Dear all,
Two postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Pengxiang
Huang, Assistant Professor and CPRIT scholar in cancer research in the
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine.
With the long-standing interest in sterol lipids, the Huang lab investigates
the poorly understood mechanisms involved in Hedgehog (Hh) and Wnt signal
transduction, two related pathways that play critical roles in development,
regeneration and cancer. We utilize a combination of biochemistry, cell,
chemical and structural biology approaches, including both X-ray
crystallography and Cryo-EM. Our recent work identified cholesterol as the
endogenous ligand for Smoothened, the key signal transduer and oncoprotein
in the Hh pathway (Cell. 166:1176-87). We also characterized the structural
and oncogenic basis of Smoothened activation, demonstrating for the first
time the active conformation of a class F GPCR (Cell. 174:312-24). The
highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment of our group will
thus provide unique career development opportunities for future postdoctoral
trainees.
We are seeking highly-motivated candidates with a Ph.D. in biomedical
sciences and significant experience in molecular biology, protein
biochemistry and/or cell biology. Prior knowledge in structural biology
(X-ray crystallography or Cryo-EM) is highly desirable, but not required.
Candidates should have a documented publication record in peer-reviewed
journals, able to work both independently and as an effective team member.
To apply, please send your CV, a short summary of research experience, and
three reference letters to cnssolve[at]gmail.com.
collaborative research environment focused on structural/molecular mechanism
of broadly neutralizing antibodies specific to MPER segment of the gp41
subunit in membrane environments, its implication to immunogen design and
immunogenicity. The laboratory provides a rich training environment and
access to cutting-edge techniques.
Highly-motivated candidates with a recent PhD or MD/PhD in biomedical
sciences and significant experience in molecular biology and biochemistry
are encouraged to apply. Skills in molecular biology, biochemistry and
extensive biomolecular NMR experience are essential. Candidates should have
a documented publication record in peer-reviewed journals. We are seeking a
candidate with excellent writing and communication skills, able to work
independently but also effectively and collaboratively with other lab
members. Applicants should include a short statement of research goals, CV
and three references with their application.
