Postdoctoral Fellowship: Structural Biology

Job description:

The
Meijers group at the EMBL Unit in Hamburg, Germany is looking for a
highly motivated and committed 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 group has access to
state of the art protein production and characterization facilities and
will become an integral part of the new PETRA3 facility which is a new
source of highly brilliant synchrotron radiation.

Qualifications
and experience:

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...
