Revision as of 14:06, 25 January 2009
The Department of Biomolecular Mechanisms at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg invites people interested in the structure and dynamics of macromolecular switches and assemblies to apply for
4 doctoral degree (Ph.D.) positions (reference number 13/2008) and
3 postdoctoral positions (reference number 14/2008).
Our department is an international and interdisciplinary team of four closely interacting groups. Our main research topics are: mRNA processing, chaperone-assisted and unassisted protein folding, and the detailed mechanisms of enzyme-catalysed reactions involving flavin or haem cofactors. We offer a unique environment of top-level scientific research and state-of-the-art technology. For further information, see the groups’ web pages at http://wbmm.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/groups. The stimulating and productive environment provides young scientists with an ideal starting-point for further career steps. Heidelberg is one of the top centres for biomedical research in Germany, and graduate students have access to several different Ph.D. programmes.
Candidates should have knowledge of and interest in one or more of the fields mentioned (with respect to either the research topic or the techniques employed), an outstanding track record and excellent skills in spoken and written English.
The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer and seeks to increase the percentage of female employees in areas where they are under-represented. Qualified women are strongly encouraged to apply. Furthermore, were also committed to employ more individuals with disabilities, and therefore actively encourage them to apply.
Candidates should send their formal application before January 31, 2009 to Sekretariat-bmm@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de with “BMM-recruitment 2009” and reference number in the subject line. The e-mail should contain a single Portable Document File (PDF) including
- a brief letter, preferably indicating which of the department’s groups would be preferred
- a Curriculum Vitae
- a full list of publications (if applicable)
- a description of past and present research activities (1 page) and
- the names and addresses of referees (two for Ph.D. applicants or three for postdoctoral applicants).</nowiki>
