Professorship in electron cryo-microscopy / EM development
The Cluster of Excellence “Macromolecular Complexes” and the Physics
Department at the Goethe University in Frankfurt are seeking to
appoint an outstanding scientist in the field Electron Optics/Electron
Cryo-Microscopy. Three-dimensional cryo-EM is a key technique in our
Cluster. We are looking for a new full or junior professor to
reinforce and complement ongoing research in the Cluster into the
structure and molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins, transport
machineries, RNA-protein complexes, or related areas. Candidates
should have an excellent track record in the structure determination
of macromolecular assemblies by single-particle cryo-EM, electron
tomography, and / or in instrument development. The new professorship
will be structurally integrated into the Department of Physics.
Start-up funds as well as substantial funding for personnel and
running costs are available. There will be ample opportunities for
interactions with leading research groups at the University and the
Max Planck Institutes of Biophysics and Brain Research. Excellent,
state-of-the-art core facilities, including imaging, proteomics,
genomics, and bioinformatics will be available to all groups in the
Cluster. For further information, including the positions filled in
the first round of appointments, see
www.cef-mc.de. Participation in new or existing DFG-funded
Collaborative Research Centres (SFBs) in Frankfurt is expected. The
successful candidate will develop a highly competitive research
program in an area related to the interests of the Cluster and
participate in teaching in Biophysics at the Bachelor’s and Master’s
level.
The salary for the position will be on the German university W scale
or equivalent. The Goethe University is committed to a pluralistic
campus community through affirmative action and equal opportunity. For
details see
www.uni-frankfurt.de/aktuelles/ausschreibung/professuren/index.html.
Applications including a curriculum vitae, pdf files of 5 key
publications, statements of research achievements (1 page) and future
plans (3 pages), a record of teaching activities and third party-
funding as well as the names and addresses of 5 academic referees
should be sent via e-mail by 10 April 2008 to the Director, Cluster of
Excellence Macromolecular Complexes Goethe University, Frankfurt, at office at cef-mc.de
