Ebola virus is one of the deadliest known viruses with a lethality rate of 40 - 60 %. Past outbreaks in African countries highlight the potential of Ebola virus and other filoviruses to cause severe epidemics with serious social and economic consequences. It is therefore of great importance to understand the basic mechanisms of virus replication and the interactions with host cell factors in order to identify potential targets for the development of antiviral drugs. This third-party funded project focuses on the role of Ebola virus protein methylation for virus replication and the identification of host cell proteins involved.
**Tasks**:

- scientific services in research
- molecular biological and virological studies on the function of Ebola virus protein methylation using life cycle modelling assays, life cell imaging and authentic Ebola virus under BSL4 conditions
- interaction studies with cellular proteins
- independent planning, implementation and evaluation of studies

The position is limited to a time period deemed adequate for the completion of a doctoral degree. As part of the assigned duties, there will be ample opportunity to conduct the independent scientific research necessary for the completion of a doctorate. The limitation complies to - 2, 1 WissZeitVG.
**Profile**:

- MSc-degree or equivalent in Biology, Human Biology, Life Science, Biochemistry or equivalent
- knowledge of infection biology, especially virology and structure-function analyses of proteins is an advantage
- ability to work in a team, communication skills, high motivation
- very good knowledge of English

Disposition to own scientific qualification (doctorate project in the area of virology) is expected.
We actively support the professional development of junior researchers by the offers of Marburg Research Academy (MARA), the International Office and the Higher Education Didactics Office.
