The Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, a leading biomedical research institute and a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers, invites applications for an Independent Group Leader Position in Cryo-Electron Microscopy. The MDC are seeking outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a background in cryo-electron microscopy to develop their own research program and contribute to the establishment of cutting edge cryo-EM applications in Berlin. Integrative structural biology approaches with a focus on cryo-electron tomography are particularly welcome.
In close collaboration with the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and its new cryo-EM core facility on our campus in Berlin-Buch, MDC provide access to state-of-the-art infrastructure for cryo-electron tomography, including a Titan Krios with a Gatan K3 Direct Electron Detector, an Aquilos Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope and a Cryo Correlative Light Electron Microscope. The successful applicant will benefit from a highly collaborative and vibrant scientific environment within the MDC and its partner institutions in the Berlin region. They will also have access to platforms for X-ray crystallography, advanced light microscopy, drug screening and proteomics, amongst others. NMR expertise is available at the neighbouring Leibniz-Institute for Molecular Pharmacology. The independent group leader position (principal investigator position) includes generous funding for 5 years with an option for extension or tenure upon evaluation.
