CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- March 2007 <-- 15 March 2007Subject: Several positions available in Luebeck, Germany From: Jeroen Mesters mesters {- at -} BIOCHEM {- dot -} UNI-LUEBECK {- dot -} DE Date: 2007-03-15 to send their complete resumé (indicating the position of interest and including the names of three possible referees), before April 16, 2007, to: Universität zu Lübeck Dezernat Personal Ratzeburger Allee 160 23538 Lübeck Further information can be obtained from the Director of the Institute of Biochemistry, Prof. Rolf Hilgenfeld, Tel. 0451-500-4060; hilgenfeld@biochem.uni-luebeck.de.We are seeking to fill the following positions in the institute as soon as possible: 1. Leader of the group "Recombinant production of viral proteins" (limited to 2 years, extendable up to 6 years) 2. Postdoctoral fellow in structural biology/X-ray crystallography (limited to 2 years, extendable up to 4 years) 3. Postdoctoral fellow in crystallography/structural virology (limited to 18 months) 4. Physicist or physical chemist for systematic investigations into macromolecular crystallogenesis (limited to 32 months) 5. PhD student in structural virology (limited to 2 years, with possible 1-year extension) 6. PhD student in drug design and synthetic chemistry (limited to 2 years, with possible 1-year extension) 7. PhD student in proteomics and structural biology with bacterial virulence proteins (limited to 2 years, with possible 1-year extension) The positions will be paid according to group E 13 (TV-L). Candidates filling positions 1 and 2 will be involved in teaching students of medicine for up to 4 hours/week (German language). The PhD students may be asked to participate in teaching (to a minor extent) in our "Molecular Life Science" or "Computational Life Science" programmes (in English or German). Position no. 4 and one of the positions 5-7 will be primarily located at our Hamburg outstation. The Institute of Biochemistry conducts research on the molecular basis of intracellular infections by RNA viruses (particularly coronaviruses including the SARS virus), bacteria and protozoa (see EMBO J. 21, 3213 (2002); Science 300, 1763 (2003); PNAS 100, 13190 (2003); Cell 117, 57 (2004); JMB 354, 25 (2005); JBC 281, 25425 (2006)). Investigations include the identification of potential virulence proteins by proteomics, the recombinant production, purification, crystallization, and X-ray structure determination of these proteins, as well as the design and chemical synthesis of inhibitors. All instrumentation necessary for this research is implemented in the institute, which also runs an outstation at DESY (Hamburg) with direct access to synchrotron radiation. The research projects are mainly funded by the European Commission (see www.sepsda.eu; www.vizier-europe.org; www.opticryst.info), the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and the German-Israeli Foundation. The institute is responsible for education and training in biochemistry, with an annual enrolment of about 180 students of medicine and up to 80 students of Molecular Life Science or Computational Life Science.
