[3dem] Postdoc position in cryoEM/cryo-ET on membrane remodelling, Paulino Lab (Heidelberg, Germany)

[Batista Paulino, Prof. Dr. Cristina]

Dear cryo-EM aficionados,

The Paulino Lab is seeking a highly motivated and versatile postdoc with extensive experience in cryo-EM and/or cryo-ET to join us in Heidelberg, Germany.

The project:
The successful candidate will be part of the technology platform of a newly granted German collaborative research center SFB/CRC 1638 entitled ‘Cellular remodeling – how changing form creates function’, composed of several groups within the Heidelberg University, EMBL, Max-Planck Institute, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Heidelberg Medical Faculty and the University of Mannheim.
The collaborative technology platform (Z-project), supervised by Cristina Paulino (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.paulinolab.de__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0YZinxoA0$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.paulinolab.de/__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0Y4KvB7ag$ >) and Petr Chlanda (LabLink<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/zentrum-fuer-infektiologie/virologie/forschung/forschungsgruppen/chlanda-lab__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0YCBsDn6U$ >), aims at utilizing cryo-EM and cryo-correlative approaches to study membrane remodelling events. The candidate will be involved in several projects, by enabling cryo-EM SPA and cryo-ET methodology to support and drive projects within the CRC and will further develop and optimize methods specifically focused on membrane biology.

Job offer:
The consortium is funded for four years, with potential of renewal and the initial contract will be for a full-time position for two years with the possibility of extension. Salary is set according to the E13 German public pay scale, including several social benefits. The position will be based in the Paulino Lab<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.paulinolab.de/__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0Y4KvB7ag$ > at the Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center (BZH<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bzh.db-engine.de/__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0YHtpM48E$ >) and closely integrated within our cryo-EM network and fully-equipped technology platform HDcryoNet<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/research/research-profile/fields-of-focus/field-of-focus-i/cellnetworks-core-technology-platform-cctp/hdcryonet__;!!Mih3wA!FD7cSOHftp4rCtoivEq8fJIxf67iOoX64Wfk4ieEEkohwuXnjUIKEXTCxdhhD6Bm-ISuct2mbDzpu_4au_k9uh5U2ezQmpdjbl0YMkIrpLE$ >, offering a collaborative environment with experts in membrane biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology.

The environment:
The Heidelberg university and surrounding research institutions are renowned for their scientific excellence, collaborative environment and state-of-the art technology, which provide the perfect setting for innovation and professional growth. They are embedded in the historic and picturesque city of Heidelberg, where you will experience a vibrant international and intellectual community with a high quality of life.

Qualifications:
Applicants should hold a PhD and have extensive experience in cryo electron microscopy of biological samples. They should be confident and experienced in sample preparation, operation of high-end microscopes, data collection and image processing for single particle analysis and/or cryo-electron tomography projects. Experience in cryo-FIB/SEM or CLEM is beneficial but not required. The ideal candidate should have joy in method optimization/development and a strong collaborative mindset and posses excellent organisational, interpersonal and scientific communication skills.

Application deadline: 15 of September 2024
Earliest Start: 1st of October 2024
How to apply:
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, including a summary of your research experience and your suitability for the position, a CV and contact details of two referees to cristina.paulino at bzh.uni-heidelberg.de<mailto:cristina.paulino at bzh.uni-heidelberg.de>.

Looking forward to interesting applications.
Best,
Cristina
