[3dem] Group leader positions at European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Hamburg

[Jan Kosinski]

Dear all,

European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Hamburg is looking for two new Group Leaders in the areas of Cryo Electron Microscopy and X-ray Imaging:

New approaches in electron microscopy: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://s.embl.org/HH00190__;!!Mih3wA!Tx4P5G9E-Z6PoVOvFWiXXRovxEYfqOrCwltRsTecZT-CXu3ql6TCYRZTbMb1izHWng$ 
X-ray imaging of biological samples: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://s.embl.org/HH00191__;!!Mih3wA!Tx4P5G9E-Z6PoVOvFWiXXRovxEYfqOrCwltRsTecZT-CXu3ql6TCYRZTbMa98uD6BQ$ 

EMBL is an independent, inter-governmental research institute with a mission to carry out outstanding basic research in molecular biology and train the next generation of scientists. EMBL maintains an innovative structure of independent young group leaders hired following their postdoctoral training and supported by generous internal funding and extensive core facilities. EMBL runs a nine-year limited contract system that ensures a dynamic and collaborative cutting-edge research environment.

The EMBL Hamburg Unit is one the six sites across Europe (Heidelberg, Cambridge, Hamburg, Grenoble, Rome, Barcelona). EMBL Hamburg has pioneered the use of synchrotron radiation in the Life Sciences and has provided service facilities for the use of X-rays in Structural Biology for decades on the DESY campus, Hamburg, Germany. At present, the EMBL Integrated Facility for Structural Biology provides access to structure determination pipelines employing X-ray crystallography and/or small-angle X-ray scattering to a large international user community.

EMBL in Hamburg is now expanding and diversifying this portfolio towards imaging of biological samples at multiple scales to meet future challenges in the life sciences at a state-of-the-art level in terms of competence and access to infrastructures. While the current synchrotron PETRA III already provides excellent conditions, the planned upgrade of the on-site synchrotron ring in Hamburg to PETRA IV will open unprecedented new opportunities for innovative applications in structural and cell biology. This will also include the establishment of a new EM user facility on DESY campus, complementing already existing facilities on-site at the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) and EMBL EM facilities in Heidelberg. Both advertised group leader positions are expected to contribute to these strategic aims.

The future group leaders will be embedded in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL, which provides various opportunities for interaction with other research groups. In particular, there are opportunities for synergistic projects with applications in X-ray based structural biology and imaging, electron microscopy, integrative structural modelling approaches, and advanced sample preparation and characterization methods.

Best regards,
Jan Kosinski
