We are seeking creative, passionate and independent thinkers to join us as postdocs. Applications are encouraged from talented and motivated individuals who have a Ph.D. or are nearing completion of their Ph.D. with experience in cell biology, structural biochemistry and/or protein engineering. Top candidates will have a strong track record of research productivity, excellent communication skills, enthusiasm for basic research or technology development and a willingness to work as a leading part of a team with other lab members.

​

The following projects require your expertise:

1) Mechanism of membrane protein biogenesis and quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum.

Preferred expertise:

structural biology (cryo-EM data collection and data analysis),

biochemistry (protein expression and purification in bacteria / mammalian cells)

cell biology (mammalian cell culture, genome-wide CRISPR screens etc.)

 

2) Engineering nanobodies that rewire intracellular biology (various projects) e.g. alter protein folding or degradation capacity and their characterization in model systems of neurodegenerative diseases.

Preferred expertise:

biochemistry (protein purification expression and purification in bacteria / mammalian cells),

cell biology (mammalian cell culture, CRISPR screens etc.)

protein engineering (phage / ribosome / yeast display, antibody engineering, etc.)

​

Please include the following items in one PDF as part of your application via email to Tino:

• A cover letter including a summary of your research experience, your career goals, and how you think you could contribute to the ongoing research in our lab.

• Your resume including a list of publications with brief (2-3 sentence) descriptions of your contributions to your published work.

• Names and contact information for 3 references.
