Ph.D. student position in protein biochemistry and crystallography
We are looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student for our protein
biochemistry and crystallography laboratory at the Dept. of Biochemistry
at University Bayreuth, Germany. We use protein crystallography and a
variety of biochemical and biophysical methods for the structural and
mechanistic characterization of cellular signalling systems with
relevance to aging mechanisms and aging-related diseases. We then aim to
develop small molecule modulators that exploit the identified signalling
mechanisms. The PhD project will target soluble adenylyl cyclase, for
exemplary publications see Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 111:3727-32; Nat Chem
Biol. 12:838-44; ACS Med Chem Lett. 12:1283-1287
Our laboratory is located in a new building at the University of
Bayreuth, Germany and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for
protein biochemistry, x-ray crystallography, and mass spectrometry. We
offer excellent research opportunities and a stimulating environment for
research in structural biology. The position is open immediately, salary
base is TV-L E13/2.
The ideal candidate is a highly motivated student with strong interest
in structural biology and prior experience in protein biochemistry.
Additional experience in molecular biology and/or protein
crystallization would be an asset.
Applications from handicapped persons will be favored when all other
qualifications are equal. The University of Bayreuth is an equal
opportunity employer and we therefore especially encourage women to apply.
Applications (including CV, research experience, and two names and
contact information for references) should be sent as a PDF or by mail to
email: sekretariat.biochemie@uni-bayreuth.de
