Applications are invited for a postdoc position in computational biochemistry/structural biology at the Goethe University Frankfurt/Main, Germany (E13 TV-G-U, full time).
The topic of the research project is the structural organization of membrane-bound protein supercomplexes. To study these systems, a computational modeling and simulation approach is used that also integrates experimental data. The project is embedded in and involves collaboration with experimental research groups in the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 807, Transport and Communication across Biological Membranes.
Highly motivated candidates with a PhD degree in (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, bioinformatics, biology, or a related field are invited to apply. Experience in biomolecular modeling/computational structural biology, with Linux/Unix platforms, understanding of the underlying biology, excellent communication skills (both written and oral), and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary research environment are expected qualifications. Experience with IMP and/or Rosetta, programming, and high-performance supercomputing facilities are beneficial but not required qualifications.
The position is available in the group of Dr. Lars Schäfer. Applications should be sent until February 28, 2013 and include a cover letter with a brief statement why you are interested in the position, CV, and publication list. Two letters of recommendation should be made available. Please address your application to Dr. Lars Schäfer, Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Goethe-Universität, Max-von-Laue-Str. 7, D-60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Applications may also be sent by email. For further information, please contact Dr. Lars Schäfer.
The contract is fixed term, based on the regulations of the "Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz" and the "Hessische Hochschulgesetz". Initial appointment is for 1 year, with possible extension upon mutual agreement. The University is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages women to apply. In case of equal qualification, preference will be given to applicants with disabilities.
