[RASMB] Offer

[Dr. L. Nagel]

Dear AUC community,

We are looking for a person who is at the beginning of his/her academic 
career or any later stage of a scientific career, and has a particular 
interest in the use and further development of analytical 
ultracentrifugation as a technique for the characterization of 
macromolecular systems.

The situation assumes that this person has his/her own financial 
resources, inclu­ding his/her salary for the stay at Heinrich Heine 
University Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany. The funding should allow 
for a stay of at least 2 years.

In return, we offer a state-of-the-art working environment at the 
Institute of Physi­cal Biology at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, 
Germany (https://www.ipb.hhu.de/en/). The available laboratories include 
a level S2 biosafety laboratory, the possibility to work with prion 
pathogens under level S3** conditions and a comprehensive range of 
equipment for recombinant protein synthesis and physicoche­mical 
characterization of biological macromolecules. In addition, the 
Institute of Structu­ral Biology (IBI-7) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, 
which is also headed by Prof. Dr. Will­bold, makes a significant 
contribution to the available equipment. Cutting edge equip­ment for 
biological NMR spectroscopy together with the technical expertise on 
site at Jülich is particularly noteworthy. Our laboratory already has a 
ProteomLab ultracentrifu­ge in operation equipped with an Aviv 
fluorescence detection system and absorption optics. Of special 
relevance is a new analytical ultracentrifuge (Optima AUC) with 
ab­sorption and interference optics.

Most projects in the institute deal with the pathologic aggregation of 
proteins associated with human diseases. Joining our work force would be 
appreciated but is not mandatory. For an overview of research activities 
see our website https://www.ipb.hhu.de/en/.

Potential sources of funding include the DFG (Walter Benjamin Programme, 
Emmy Noether Programme), EU (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, ERC 
grants), Hum­boldt Research Fellowship, EMBO (Postdoctoral fellowships, 
Young Investigator Pro­gramme).

Since this message will not reach all possible candidates, we ask you to 
forward our message to people who you think might be interested in our 
offer.
