The Löw laboratory is specialized in structural biology of integral membrane proteins. The team uses innovative approaches to study the structure and dynamics of nutrient uptake systems.

　　Your role

　　The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary environment together with structural and computational biologists. As part of a collaborative project (involving additional groups from Sweden and Germany) new methods for diffractive imaging of macromolecules based on continuous diffraction of membrane protein crystals will be explored. The work aims at biological discoveries and will comprise both, methodological and applied aspects.

　　You have

　　o    A Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, biophysics or structural biology (or a related field)

　　o    Strong experience in X-ray crystallography with a demonstrated record of accomplishments

　　o    Ability to plan and pursue a research project independently and in a team

　　o    Willingness to learn new skills as projects require
