Since its foundation in 2008, the *Zentrum **für Innovationskompetenz
(ZIK) HALOmem* at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in
Germany (www.halomem.de <http://www.halomem.de>) has devoted itself to
the structural characterisation of membrane proteins together with
analysis of the role played by the surrounding membrane.
HALOmem is expanding its expertise platform with the establishment of
two new independent research groups "Cryo-EM of membrane protein
complexes" and "Biophysical characterisation of medically relevant
membrane proteins", 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.
HALOmem and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
seek a highly motivated and outstanding junior scientist for the
position of:
*Research Group Leader “**Cryo-EM of membrane protein complexes”*
The successful candidate will establish a team to study membrane protein
complexes using cryo-electron micros-copy (single particle
reconstruction and/or tomography). The applicant will have trained in
membrane protein biochemistry and/or cryo-EM, with documented experience
in these fields at postgraduate and postdoctoral level. The candidate
will have 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) that is presently being installed.
Ideally, the applicant should also have experience in:
· Working in an international scientific environment
· Project coordination and leadership
· Obtaining third party funding
· Interacting within an interdisciplinary milieu
The group will receive funding from the BMBF, including an additional
four co-workers and consumables for five years, as well as laboratory
equipment necessary for the project. Implementation of the extended ZIK
HALOmem Strategy Concept is a requirement for both group leaders, and
successful candidates are expected to contribute to establishment of the
Research training programme “Halle School of Molecular Life Sciences
(HaMol)”.
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.
The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg strives to promote equal
opportunities in science. Female and disabled applicants, qualified
according to the above criteria, will be given preference over other
candidates with equivalent relevant qualifications. Salary scale is
subject to legal and budgetary policies of the University and candidates
are expected to start by the beginning of 2016. The University provides
arrangements for coordinating occupation and family.
Applications should be addressed to _both___ZIK HALOmem and the Project
Management Organisation Jülich (representing the BMBF) with the subject
headline “ZIK HALOmem II”:
