[3dem] Tenure track group leader position in ZIK HALOmem, University of Halle, Germany

[Milton T. Stubbs]

Since its foundation in 2008, the *Zentrum **für Innovationskompetenz 
(ZIK) HALOmem* at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 
Germany (www.halomem.de <http://www.halomem.de>) has devoted itself to 
the structural characterisation of membrane proteins together with 
analysis of the role played by the surrounding membrane.

HALOmem is expanding its expertise platform with the establishment of 
two new independent research groups "Cryo-EM of membrane protein 
complexes" and "Biophysical characterisation of medically relevant 
membrane proteins", working and collaborating within the stimulating 
multidisciplinary environment that has established Halle as an 
internationally recognised centre for pure and applied protein 
biochemistry, biotechnology and biophysics.

HALOmem and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) 
seek a highly motivated and outstanding junior scientist for the 
position of:

*Research Group Leader “**Cryo-EM of membrane protein complexes”*
The successful candidate will establish a team to study membrane protein 
complexes using cryo-electron micros-copy (single particle 
reconstruction and/or tomography). The applicant will have trained in 
membrane protein biochemistry and/or cryo-EM, with documented experience 
in these fields at postgraduate and postdoctoral level. The candidate 
will have unrestricted access to the 300 kV JEOL JEM-3200FSC (equipped 
with field emission gun, cryo-stage, in-line energy filter and GATAN K2 
direct electron detector) that is presently being installed.

Ideally, the applicant should also have experience in:

·        Working in an international scientific environment

·        Project coordination and leadership

·        Obtaining third party funding

·        Interacting within an interdisciplinary milieu

The group will receive funding from the BMBF, including an additional 
four co-workers and consumables for five years, as well as laboratory 
equipment necessary for the project. Implementation of the extended ZIK 
HALOmem Strategy Concept is a requirement for both group leaders, and 
successful candidates are expected to contribute to establishment of the 
Research training programme “Halle School of Molecular Life Sciences 
(HaMol)”.


The group leader may be awarded the status of Junior Professor, in which 
case active participation in academic and administrative duties within 
the University is expected according to the Hochschulgesetz 
Sachsen-Anhalt (§ 34 HSG-LSA), with corresponding requirements for 
recruitment according to § 35 HSG-LSA. Junior Professorships are awarded 
initially for a period of three years, after which a further three years 
may be granted upon positive evaluation. In such a case, the position 
offers the possibility of subsequent tenure at the Martin Luther 
University, which may or may not be submitted for tender depending on 
the success of the group leader.


The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg strives to promote equal 
opportunities in science. Female and disabled applicants, qualified 
according to the above criteria, will be given preference over other 
candidates with equivalent relevant qualifications. Salary scale is 
subject to legal and budgetary policies of the University and candidates 
are expected to start by the beginning of 2016. The University provides 
arrangements for coordinating occupation and family.


Applications should be addressed to _both___ZIK HALOmem and the Project 
Management Organisation Jülich (representing the BMBF) with the subject 
headline “ZIK HALOmem II”:
