Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany.

Research Group

The research group Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Trafficking is part of the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and focuses on understanding how molecular machines select transmembrane cargo proteins and drive the formation of transport carriers within the endosomal network.

Job Responsibilities
  • Conduct research in structural studies of membrane trafficking using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET)
  • Develop and apply biochemistry and cell biology techniques for sample preparation
  • Process and analyze ET data using scripting skills
  • Collaborate with the research team to achieve project goals
Requirements
  • M.Sc. degree in molecular-, cell-, structural biology, computer science, digital image analysis or related fields
  • Proficient writing and spoken English
  • Motivation to drive research projects and grow towards career goals in academia or industry
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently or in a team
What We Offer
  • Training in cryo-electron microscopy and interfacing techniques
  • Interdisciplinary research combining wet and dry lab experiments
  • A wide range of opportunities to balance work and family life
  • Further training opportunities and free language courses
Position Details

The position is funded for three years with possibility of extension and requires enrollment in a PhD program at the Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB – collaboration with the University of Göttingen).

Payment and benefits are based on the wage agreement for public service personal (TVöD Bund) guidelines.

Application

To apply, please send a cover letter explaining how your training and career aspirations fit with this position, your CV, university diploma transcripts and contact details of at least two academic referees preferably by e-mail as a single PDF file.
