Postdoctoral Scientist in X-ray structural analysis of plant proteins
A postdoctoral staff position is available at the Institute of Biological Chemistry of the Technical University Munich starting from November 2007 for initially three years. Projects are focused at the structural study of plant proteins, either with regulatory functions or with interesting enzymatic activities. Applicants should have experience in protein crystallization and diffraction data collection as well as molecular biology techniques.
The in-house facility includes a Rigaku rotating anode generator with Osmic confocal layer optics, MAR imaging plate detector and an Oxford cryostream liquid nitrogen cooling device. Furthermore, there is full time access to robotic crystallisation and imaging equipment.
Our research group provides a fruitful environment with strong background in protein engineering, biochemistry, and recombinant gene expression. The institute is located at the biological sciences campus of TU Munich in Freising-Weihenstephan, north of Munich and close to the international airport. The position will also involve teaching activities, especially in conjunction with our new BSc/MSc curriculum Molecular Biotechnology.
Applications including CV and two letters of recommendation or addresses of references should be sent to: Prof. Arne Skerra, Lehrstuhl f. Biologische Chemie, TU Muenchen, 85350 Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany, phone: +49 8161 714351, eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://www.wzw.tum.de/bc
