Dear All, there are two positions available in SAXS methods development at the biological SAXS group (EMBL, Hamburg Outstation).
1. A PhD position in the frame of a Marie Curie Initial Training Network IDPbyNMR. The topic of the thesis work will be the joint use of SAXS and NMR as well as related methods in the study of intrinsically unfolded proteins. The IDNbyNMR network includes leading European institutions in the field of intrinsically unfolded proteins, which became an extremely imporntant and challenging object to study by structural methods. The interested candidates should register for the EMBL Predoctoral program (2010 Fall Selection) at http://www.embl.de/training/eipp/application/index.html following the rules of the EMBL PhD program and indicating in the application that they are interested in joining the biological SAXS group in Hamburg. Please make sure you register by latest 1 July 2010. 2. A postdoctoral position in the frame of an interdisciplinary postdoctoral EMBL program (EIPOD). The project aims at developing bioinformatic tools for a comprehensive validation of the low resolution SAXS models. The work envisages a synergistic use of structural, biochemical and bioinformatics methods, providing an excellent opportunity for a biologist, physicist or mathematician to develop complementary skills. The full description of the project can be found at http://www.embl.de/training/postdocs/eipod/app2010/index.html The deadline for the on-line application is August, 31, 2010 The message is sent to several listservers, and we apologize if some of you will receive it more than once. With best regards D.Svergun
