[ccp4bb] Professorship in Advanced Microscopy and Cellular Dynamics/Cryo-Electron Microscopy

Open to new ideas. Since 1365. As a research university with high international visibility and a wide range of degree programmes, the University of Vienna is committed to basic research open to application and research-led teaching, as well as to career development of young researchers and to the dialogue with economy and society. That way, the University of Vienna contributes to the education of future generations and to the society’s ability to innovate.

The appointment of particularly qualified researchers to university professors is an important strategy of the University of Vienna. Become part of this vibrant and future-oriented organisation.

At the Centre for Molecular Biology of the University of Vienna/ Max F. Perutz Laboratories the position of a

We are looking for outstanding scientists addressing important questions about biological structure and dynamics, bridging molecular structural biology and cell biology by applying cryo-electron microscopy (both single-particle and /or tomography) in combination with other experimental and computational techniques of biochemistry and molecular biophysics. The position will be at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL), a joint venture of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna. MFPL is committed to research at the highest level and is embedded in the Vienna BioCenter (VBC) Campus. The recruited candidate is expected to develop an ambitious, innovative and collaborative research program creating a strong synergy with other research groups. With an extensive background in structural biology and molecular biophysics, the candidate will consolidate and extend the education of integrative structural biology centered on multiscale analysis of biological systems. A Glacios Cryo-TEM is currently available at the Vienna Biocenter Core EM Facility https://www.vbcf.ac.at/facilities/electron-microscopy/. The University of Vienna is strongly committed to future investments to ensure access to an hig-end Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope that will be available at the VBC. Moreover the candidate will receive a competitive start-up package.

University of Vienna expects the successful candidate to be prepared to take over responsibility on the organisational level of the Centre and the University, if necessary.

The University of Vienna pursues a non-discriminatory employment policy and values equal opportunities, as well as diversity (http://diversity.univie.ac.at/en). The University puts special emphasis on increasing the number of women in senior and in academic positions. Given equal qualifications, preference will be given to female applicants.
