Dear all,<br>
<br>
Since its foundation in 2008, the Centre for Innovation Competence
(ZIK) HALOmem at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has
devoted itself to the structural characterisation of membrane
proteins together with analysis of the role played by the
surrounding membrane.<br>
HALOmem is expanding its expertise platform with the establishment
of a new independent research group “Cryo-EM of membrane protein
complexes”, 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.<br>
<br>
HALOmem and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF) seek a highly motivated and out-standing junior scientist for
the position of:<br>
<b>Tenure Track Research Group Leader</b><b><br>
</b><b>“Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Membrane Protein Complexes”</b><br>
<br>
The successful candidate will establish a team to study membrane
protein complexes using cryo-electron microscopy (single particle
reconstruction and/or tomography). The applicant will have trained
in cryo-EM of biological samples, with documented experience at
postgraduate and postdoctoral level. The candidate will enjoy
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).<br>
Ideally, the applicant should have experience in:<br>
• Working in an international scientific environment<br>
• Project coordination and leadership<br>
• Obtaining third party funding<br>
• Interacting within an interdisciplinary milieu<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Applications should be addressed to both ZIK HALOmem and the Project
Management Jülich<br>
(representing the BMBF), arriving not later than 10.03.2017 (see
attachement).<br>
