Our newly established group studies the structural basis of the changes occurring in molecular complexes during cellular transitions. Your project will apply cutting-edge proteomics, polysome profiling and imaging technologies such as cryo-EM, cryo-ET to study changes occurring in plant ribosomes during plant germination.
Your profile
We are looking for a motivated candidate with good teamwork skills who can work independently in a goal-oriented manner. The ideal candidate should have an MSc or equivalent in Biology or Biochemistry. Prior experience in plant biology and/or ribosome biology is desired.
Environment
The ZMBP is a world-class institution in molecular plant biology, benefiting from brand-new infrastructures within the University of Tübingen science campus. The institution counts with a collaborative environment with multiple research groups working on various aspects of plant biology. Additionally, you will also benefit from established collaboration with know-how on data processing and access to state-of-the-art cryo-microscopes. Tübingen is an international, dynamic, and lively university town.
