Postdoctoral Fellow and PhD Studentship Positions at Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry, Germany
he Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (www.ipb-halle.de) is a leading institution for research on plant secondary metabolites and metabolism. It is part of the national science campus "Plant Based Bioeconomy".
Postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D.-students
The Department of Bioorganic Chemistry (Prof. Wessjohann) has several openings for postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D.-students. The latter requires the completion of a European master or an equivalent degree of an institution accepted by the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, and fluency in English or German. Alternatively, in special cases, the Ph.D. study can be undertaken in cooperation with another university in Germany or abroad. Some positions are within projects funded by the EU (Bionexgen), the BMBF or industry.
Postdoctoral fellow positions:
No. 10.1
Expert in protein expression and purification. You have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, biotechnology, or bioengineering, or have otherwise gained several years of experience in heterologous expression and purification of proteins from plants, bacteria or fungi, ideally on a preparative scale. The standard host will be E. coli, but other bacterial or fungal hosts may be required.
No. 10.2 (EU)
Application of oxidizing enzymes (P450, Peroxidases, Hydroxylases). We seek a biotechnologist, chemist or biochemist to study the regioselective hydroxylation of aromatic compounds by enzymes or cell based systems. The work will include the selection of suitable enzymes or strains and their application in lab scaIe semipreparative organic synthesis. Most likely P450 enzymes will show the desired properties, but more stable oxidases are preferred if they allow regio- and chemoselective reactions. Ideally you will have a Ph.D. (or equivalent expertise) and the ability or experience to head a small research project within an international project that also includes industrial partners.
Ph.D. student positions
No 10.3
Synthetic organic chemist or medicinal chemist (Ph.D. candidate) with a keen interest in synthesizing biologically highly relevant molecules. You are interested to work cooperatively in a team with other chemists and life scientists, also from industry, as part of a chemical synthesis program aiming at the development of new biologically active compounds with a better activity profile than current ones.
No 10.4
Ph.D. student from the life sciences, e.g. from pharmacy, biotechnology/bioengineering, biochemistry or (food) chemistry interested in the development of biocatalytic methods and assays relevant for the discovery and production of food ingredients or drugs, and eventually upscaling.
No 10.5 (EU)
Molecular biologist or biochemist interested to identify and clone genes for methyl transferases and related enzymes, and to involve in protein (re-)engineering efforts by rational and evolutionary methods. The work will be done in cooperation with the department of cell and metabolic biology.
No 10.6
Ph.D. student in the computational life sciences / computational chemistry like bioinformaticians, or biochemists, biotechnologists, pharmacists, and chemists with a keen interest in computational work and the ability to integrate into an interdisciplinary team working on the (re-)design of proteins, substrates and inhibitors. Bioinformatics, chemoinformatics or modelling experience is welcome.
Please send your application (cover letter addressing your research interests, cv, transcripts of certificates and relevant scientific work, and – especially for postdocs: names/contacts of references and a publication list) in English or German until 30. June 2011* to:
