Dear all,
there is a postdoctoral position available at the EMBL Hamburg Unit:
The Meijers group at the EMBL Unit in Hamburg, Germany is looking for an
outstanding post-doctoral scientist to work on structural aspects of the
assembly and organization of the immunological synapse. We use a range
of methodologies including cell biology, protein biochemistry, protein
engineering, X-ray crystallography and bioinformatics to study the weak
and specific interactions within the immunological synapse. The
laboratory has access to state of the art protein production and
characterization facilities. It will form an integral part of the new
PETRA3 facility which is a new source of highly brilliant synchrotron
radiation. Further information on the research performed in the lab can
be found at:
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/research/unit/meijers/index.html
The ideal candidate should have a PhD in biochemistry or cell biology
and extensive experience in protein expression and purification.
Previous experience in protein structure determination would be an
advantage. The candidate should have a willingness to develop new
techniques in protein engineering that will open new avenues to study
the dynamics and signaling of cell surface receptors.
An initial contract of 2 years will be offered to the successful
candidate. This can be renewed depending on the circumstances at the
time of review.
Closing date: 31st of January 2010
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is an inclusive, equal
opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits
appropriate to an international research organisation.
