PhD and post-doc positions in Structural Biology at the Biozentrum (University of Basel)
Several positions are open in the Focal Areas of Structural Biology/Biophysics and Infection Biology. We are studying the molecular mechanisms of • c-di-GMP mediated signaling (diguanylate cyclases, phosphodiesterases, novel receptors) • FIC domain mediated AMP transfer (regulation, novel targets) in a comprehensive approach combining in vivo studies with X-ray structure analyses and biochemical/biophysical characterizations. For further information please consult http://www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/open-positions/ and the web pages of the participating groups (Jenal, Dehio, Schirmer). Highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in structural biology and with experience in molecular biology and protein chemistry are encouraged to apply. Experience in biophysical methods and protein crystallography is of advantage. Starting date by arrangement. Salary according to institutional guidelines. The Biozentrum is an internationally renowned Institute for basic Life Science Research. With over 400 employees from 30 countries, it is the largest Natural Science department of the University of Basel. About 30 research groups engage in interdisciplinary research and are in close contact with local Life Sciences industries. The working language at the institution is English. Please, send your CV, a brief description of previous research experience and the names of two references to: Prof. Tilman Schirmer Structural Biology, Biozentrum University of Basel Klingelbergstrasse 50-70 CH-4056, Basel, Switzerland tilman.schir...@unibas.ch
