Postdoc in Macromolecular Complexes: Join the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt, Germany at the ERC-funded project ‘REEL-EM’ to develop techniques for elemental mapping within cryo-preserved macromolecular complexes. This position offers the opportunity to work at the interface of various fields and contribute to methods development in structural biology.
Postdoc in Development of Electron Microscopy Methods for Elemental Mapping in Cryopreserved Macromolecular Complexes
- Designation: Postdoctoral Position
- Research Area: Development of techniques for elemental mapping within cryo-preserved macromolecular complexes.
- Location: Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt, Germany
- Eligibility/Qualification: Ideal candidates will have demonstrated enthusiasm for methods development in structural biology. A background in physics, biophysics, or materials science EM would be advantageous. Experience in electron microscopy, image processing, and scientific programming will be key assets. Extensive experience in STEM-(EELS) and/or development work with hybrid pixel detectors would be additional assets.
- Job Description: The candidate will join a team working to advance the sensitivity and resolution of the technique and to implement and improve workflows for efficient image acquisition and processing. This role will involve collaborating and working independently to develop techniques for understanding life from the cellular to atomic scale.
- How to Apply: Interested candidates should apply by email to bonnie.murphy@biophys.mpg.de with a short letter of motivation explaining their interest in and fit to the position, a CV including contact information for at least one referee, and transcript of records.
- Last Date for Apply: The position is available immediately for three years with extension possible. Applications will be evaluated upon receipt until the position is filled.
