Applications are invited for a PhD position in Protein Crystallography and Biochemistry at the Helmholtz-Centre for Infection Research, Braunschweig, Germany.
Topic:
Structural characterization of protein complexes involved in the regulation of autophagy
Methods:
protein expression and purification, X-ray crystallography, biophysical methods (ITC, fluorescence, Biacore...), molecular biology
The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research:
More than 600 people are employed at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, a research institution in the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres funded jointly by the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal State of Lower Saxony. The Department of Molecular and Structural Biology offers excellent working conditions, state-of-the-art technical platforms and equipment (including bacterial, insect cell and mammalian protein expression systems, access to rotating anode X-ray source and synchrotron), a lively scientific community and excellent support for the development of personal soft-skills. The Centre's task is to undertake biomedical research in the field of infection biology to expand our knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms behind medically relevant infectious diseases with the aim of providing the key for the development of new therapeutics and vaccines.
