Postdoc (m/f/d) | Biochemistry or Biophysics

MAX-PLANCK GESELLSCHAFT

Description

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) in Mülheim an der Ruhr studies fundamental chemical processes for energy storage in chemical molecules. The department of “Inorganic Spectroscopy” is presently looking for a candidate for a Postdoc(m/f/d) – Biochemistry or Biophysics.

The position is initially for one year and may be extended by mutual agreement. The start date is negotiable.

Your tasks

The appointed researcher will focus on the application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to understand protein-protein interactions and energy transduction processes in energy converting enzymes. The researcher will be involved in the protein purification and characterization (including activity assays and a wide range of spectroscopic measurements). The researcher will take a lead role in applying for SAXS beamtime proposals, carrying out and executing in situ SAXS measurements, analyzing the data and preparing scientific publications.

Your qualifications

  A PhD degree (and possible post-doctoral experience) in experimental biochemistry or biophysics, with previous protein SAXS experience required.

  A strong background in biochemistry and/or biophysics

  Previous exposure to spectroscopic methods is desirable

  Previous experience with stop-flow methods and/or microfluidics is advantageous

Our offer

We offer an international, dynamic working environment in a renowned research institute, family-friendly jobs and flexible working hours. Remuneration is according to TVöD (federal government), in line with your qualifications and professional experience. In addition, the usual social benefits of the public service (federal service) are granted.

The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Application

Your detailed application should include a cover letter with description of past experience, a curriculum vitae with the contact details of three referees and a copy of your degree certificate. If we have aroused your interest then please send your application preferably in digital form until 15 th March 2022 stating the reference code “SD005” to:
