The Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, a 
leading biomedical research institute and a member of the Helmholtz 
Association of German Research Centers, invites applications for an
Independent Group Leader Position in Cryo-Electron Microscopy. We are 
seeking for outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a background in 
cryo-electron microscopy to develop their own research program and 
contribute to the establishment of cutting edge cryo-EM applications in 
Berlin. Integrative structural biology approaches with a focus on 
cryo-electron tomography are particularly welcome.

In close collaboration with the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and 
its new cryo-EM core facility on our campus in Berlin-Buch, we provide 
access to state-of-the-art infrastructure for cryo-electron tomography, 
including a Titan Krios with a Gatan K3 Direct Electron Detector, an 
Aquilos Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope and a Cryo 
Correlative Light Electron Microscope. The successful applicant will 
benefit from a highly collaborative and vibrant scientific environment 
within the MDC and its partner institutions in the Berlin region. He or 
she has also access to our platforms for X-ray crystallography, advanced 
light microscopy, drug screening and proteomics, amongst others. NMR 
expertise is available at the neighbouring Leibniz-Institute for 
Molecular Pharmacology. The offered independent group leader position
