We are looking for a PhD student with Master’s degree to explore
structure and function of G-Proteins and their interaction with
membranes. The project will include X-ray crystallographic studies and
biochemical experiments including liposome binding and deformation
studies by electron microscopy, nucleotide binding and hydrolysis
assays, and also some cell biology - have a look at our recent
publications for the research we are interested in. We are located at
the Max-Delbrueck Center in north of Berlin (Helmholtz institute) and
are well equipped with two FPLC and one HPLC system, large scale
bacteria shakers, two X-ray rotating anode with MAR imaging plates, two
pipetting robots and an extensive crystal imaging system. Furthermore,
synchrotron radiation is available in close proximity at BESSY in the
south of Berlin.
For further information please contact me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), or send me your application
including CV and addresses of two possible referees.
Thanks a lot,
