The Institute for Biophysical Chemistry at Hannover Medical School invites
motivated and enthusiastic young scientists to apply for PhD positions.
The research projects will be performed within the framework of DFG-funded
programs and aims to determine the principles by which particular structural
features relate to the mechanisms that underlie the biological function of motor
proteins.
The projects require a multi-facetted approach including X-ray crystallography,
molecular modelling and computer-based design, fast kinetics, and
microscopy-based techniques.
The ideal candidate should have a solid background in protein biochemistry and
biophysics. A good experience in recombinant protein expression and purification
is required and experience in protein crystallization, structure determination
and molecular modelling would be advantageous.
Facilities available include a protein crystallization laboratory fully-equipped
for high-throughput protein crystallography, access to synchrotron radiation
sources, graphical workstations and Linux cluster for model building and
computational molecular design, Dictyostelium discoideum and E.coli expression
systems, FPLC purification, state-of-the-art equipment for time-resolved laser
spectroscopy and analytical ultracentrifugation, HiTech Stopped-Flow and Applied
Photophysics p-Star-180 equipment for kinetics measurements, static and dynamic
light-scattering spectrofluorimeter, large selection of high-end microscopes
including a 4-Pi super-resolution confocal microscope.
Contact: Applications should include the following: letter of interest,
curriculum vitae,
academic certificates and the names and contact details of two referees. All
applications should be sent to
Prof. Dietmar J. Manstein
