following position at EMBL Heidelberg:
Postdoctoral
Fellowship: Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy
Applications are invited for a post-doc position in
the group of Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy in the Structural and
Computational Biology Unit the EMBL in Heidelberg. The aim of the
research is to characterize the structure and function of
multi-component ribonucleoprotein complexes involved in the processing
of RNA. The structural investigation will be mainly by means of NMR
spectroscopy, both in solid- and solution-state, in combination with
other structural biology techniques, such as X-ray crystallography and
electron microscopy. The NMR facility at the EMBL features a 800 MHz
and a 600 MHz spectrometer, both equipped with cryoprobes. In the
Structural and Computational Biology Unit a broad range of techniques,
such as X-ray crystallography, single particle electron microscopy, EM
tomography and single molecule light microscopy, are used to describe
biological systems at various levels of spatial and temporal
resolution.
Qualifications and
experience: Applicants should hold a Ph.D degree and should have
received outstanding training in either solid- or solution-state NMR
spectroscopy. Strong motivation and excellent scientific skills are
essential, as well as willingness to work in a team. Desire to work in
an multicultural & interdisciplinary environment is essential. At
least one accepted first author publication is expected.
Contract:
An initial contract of 1 year will be offered to the successful
candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time
of review.
Closing date:
31 March 2009
