Postdoctoral Position in Cryo-Electron Microscopy
A position for a postdoctoral researcher is immediately available in the Raunser lab (http://raunser-lab.de), Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, Dortmund, Germany.
The successful candidate will join a young and still growing team and will participate in crystallographic work on membrane proteins as well as cryo-electron microscopy of macromolecular complexes.
The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology provides an international and dynamic research environment with highly interacting groups. Facilities include a center for large-scale protein expression and purification, crystallization robots and home X-ray sources as well as computer clusters. The newly established EM facility comprises a JEOL 1400 and a JEOL 3200 FSC instrument along with auxiliary equipment for cryo-EM applications.
The applicant is optimally experienced in high-resolution TEM imaging, specimen preparation, low dose cryo-EM imaging of biological samples and/or image processing. But also candidates with a strong background in other fields of structural biology will be considered. He/She is required to hold an excellent PhD in physics, chemistry, biophysics or biochemistry. Strong written and oral communication skills are considered.
Please send CV, two references and a statement outlining your interests and relevant work experience to Stefan Raunser at stefan.raunser@mpi-dortmund.mpg.de.

The Max Planck Society wishes to employ more handicapped people. Applications of handicapped people are explicitly desired. Likewise, the Max Planck Society wishes to increase the proportion of women where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore explicitly invited to apply.
