Attractive job opportunity in Berlin - HZB and Humboldt University advertise a postdoc position

Humboldt University of Berlin, berlin, Germany

Application deadline: 26 Jan 2024

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), the Leibniz-Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP)the Freie Universität Berlin, the Charite, the Max-Planck-Institute for Colloids and Interfaces and the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin jointly operate three experimental stations for bio-macromolecular crystallography at BESSY II, Berlin's modern synchrotron radiation source, located in the lovely Southeast of Berlin.

The Humboldt University zu Berlin is seeking a Post Doctoral Research Assistant to work on and support research topics in the field of structural enzymology (e.g. control of chemical reactions in macromolecular crystals, combination of UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and crystallography, etc.) originating from the group of Prof. Dr. Holger Dobbek. The successful candidate will also be involved in the development of high-throughput crystallography (fragment-screening), and in the operation of the BESSY II bio-macromolecular crystallography beamlines (headed by Dr. Manfred S. Weiss) including supporting external users at the beamlines and will take part in graduate student education.

Initially, a contract lasting until 31.12.2026 will be offered to the successful candidate with the possibility for an extension. The salary will be based on German Federal TVöD.

The position is available immediately.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in the biological, chemical or physical sciences and have a solid background in biochemical methods, in bio-macromolecular crystallography and/or related fields.

The position also requires the documented ability to conduct independent research as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Please send applications (CV, list of publications, references, .pdf-file format) citing the reference number AN/423/23 in electronic form until 26.01.2023 to:
