Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Cell Biology (Wuerzburg)

The lab of Prof. Alexander Buchberger at the Biocenter, University of wuerzburg, Germany, invites applications for a

Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Cell Biology

starting from August 2017. The position is initially available for 3 years with the possibility of extension. Payment is based on the German federal public service scale TV-L.

Research in the Buchberger lab is focused on the ubiquitin proteasome system. Projects for the announced position are aimed at elucidating molecular and cellular functions of the chaperone-like ATPase Cdc48/p97 and its cofactors. Work will cover a broad range of state-of-the-art methods in molecular cell biology and protein biochemistry.

We are seeking a highly qualified, enthusiastic scientist holding a Ph.D. degree and M.Sc. or equivalent degree with a suitable background in the life sciences. The ideal candidate has a solid background in biochemistry and cell biology, a strong publication record, high motivation, good communication skills and the ability to work in a team. Prior experiences in ubiquitin research and yeast techniques are advantageous. An active participation in the DFG-funded Research Training Group GRK2243 "Understanding Ubiquitylation: From Molecular Mechanisms to Disease" as an associated member will be expected.

The University of wuerzburg is an equal opportunities employer. Applications of women are thus especially encouraged; disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications will be considered preferentially.

The application deadline is July 31st, 2017. To apply, please send one single pdf-file containing CV, certificates, publication list, a brief summary of research experience and two reference letters to alexander.buchberger@uni-wuerzburg.de.
