Dear colleagues,



we have a PhD student position open for investigating light-sensitive GPCRs from invertebrate or non-visual vertebrate rhodopsins by modern structural biology methodology including X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. The position is funded by the ERC synergia
grant SOL (https://www.psi.ch/en/media/our-research/new-generation-of-optogenetic-tools). The student will
work in the group of Prof. Gebhard Schertler at the Paul Scherrer Institute, and supervised by Prof. Peter Hegemann at the Humboldt University of Berlin. The PhD degree will be granted from Humboldt University.



Paul Scherrer Institute is a large facility with synchrotron and free-electron laser on site. We are linked to the high-level infrastructure of electron microscopy in Switzerland. The candidate will work in the laboratory of Gebhard Schertler in PSI (https://scholar.google.com.sg/citations?hl=en&user=dgQlNnYAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate).
This position in the membrane structural biology group of Gebhard Schertler is focusing on modern structural biology. A strong interest in membrane biochemistry and structural biology is essential. 





Requirement: 

Candidates should hold a master degree in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, physics or related disciplines from university or university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule).



How to apply:

Please contact Ching-Ju Tsai (ching-ju.tsai@psi.ch) and Gebhard Schertler (gebhard.schertler@psi.ch)
directly.
