Description

Postdoctoral Scientist in Protein Crystallography

A postdoctoral staff position is available at the Institute of Biological Chemistry of the Technical University Munich starting as soon as possible for initially three years, with the option for prolongation.

Projects are focused at aspects of rational and combinatorial protein design and at the structural study of plant proteins, either with regulatory functions or with interesting enzymatic activities. Applicants should have experience in protein crystallization and diffraction data collection as well as in molecular biology techniques.

The in-house X-ray facility includes a Rigaku rotating anode generator with Osmic confocal layer optics, MAR imaging plate detector and an Oxford cryostream liquid nitrogen cooling device. In addition, there is robotic crystallisation and imaging equipment.

The position will also involve teaching activities, especially in conjunction with our new BSc/MSc curriculum Molecular Biotechnology, and there may be an opportunity to apply for the academic degree of ‘Habilitation’.

Our research group provides a fruitful environment with strong background and state of the art equipment for protein engineering, biochemistry, and recombinant gene expression. The institute is located at the biological sciences campus of TUM in Freising-Weihenstephan, north of Munich and close to the international airport. Our laboratory is member of the recently established Cluster of Excellence ‘Munich Center for integrated Protein Science – CIPSM’.
