An ERC-funded postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Birte Höcker at Bayreuth University, Germany. Within the project we apply structural biology, protein engineering and computational protein design to construct new protein motors. They are seeking a motivated personality with experience in protein biochemistry and structural biology interested in working in an interdisciplinary and international team. The position requires a PhD in biochemistry, biotechnology, structural biology, or a related field. Experience with structure determination, enzymology, computational protein design or directed evolution are all welcome.
The overall project is in collaboration with partners from Lund University, Sweden and UNSW in Sydney, Australia. Their own group is situated in the biochemistry department of the University of Bayreuth. The department is well-equipped in terms of structural biology, biophysics, and computing. Bayreuth is a beautiful city in the north of Bavaria in between Fränkischer Schweiz and the Fichtelgebirge with great outdoor opportunities. Interested candidates should contact me directly for more details on the project. A full application should include a CV, short description of prior experience, motivation and contact details of references.
