Welcome to the EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion portal, a joint initiative of the European Commission and the countries participating in the European Union's Framework Programme for Research.
EURAXESS is a unique European Research Area (ERA) initiative providing access to a complete range of information and support services for European and non-European researchers wishing to pursue research careers in Europe. It offers access to the job market; assists researchers in advancing their careers in another European country and supports research organisations in their search for outstanding research talent. EURAXESS is a truly pan-European initiative, supported by 40 participating countries across Europe.
Post: Postdoc in Structural Biology
Job Description
A postdoc position is available in the laboratory of Prof. Eva Wolf at the Biology department of the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) Mainz, Germany.
The position is available immediately for an initial period of 3 years. Salary will be according to German public service payment agreement (TV-L 13).
Research in the Wolf group is focused on the structural (mostly X-ray crystallography), biochemical and biophysical analysis of proteins/protein complexes involved in the regulation and light-synchronization of the inner circadian clock (e.g. Czarna et al (2013) Cell,153(6):1394-405; Schmalen et al (2014) Cell,157(5):1203–1215). Circadian clocks generate daily (24 h) rhythms of physiology, metabolism and behaviour and thereby critically affect fitness, health and disease. We are also interested in molecular connections between circadian clocks and DNA replication, cell cycle and genome stability (Witosch et al (2014) Nucleic Acids Research, 42:12912-27).
Projects will involve a wide range of techniques including cloning, recombinant protein expression, protein purification, crystallization and X-ray crystallography as well as complementary biochemical and biophysical methods to study protein structures, interactions and activities.
The Wolf group is currently located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) (www.imb-mainz.de/wolf). IMB is a Centre of Excellence for Life Sciences, which is funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation and located on the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany.
The successful postdoc candidate will have solid practical experience in recombinant protein expression (preferentially using both insect cells and E.coli), in protein purification and in macromolecular X-ray crystallography. Additional experience with biochemical, biophysical or spectroscopic analyses of purified proteins or with cryo-EM is an advantage. She/he will hold a PhD in a relevant discipline.
To apply, please send a single PDF file containing your cover letter stating research interests and expertise, a CV, scanned certificates and contact details of at least two references to sek-ew@uni-mainz.de before May 31st 2015. Informal enquires should be addressed to Eva Wolf (evawolf1@uni-mainz.de).
