Structural biology/signal transduction/TGFbeta biology PhD project: Modulation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling by co-receptors Project Description We are looking to
recruit a highly motivated PhD student for a research project in the T.Mueller-lab
at the Julius-von-Sachs Institute, University of Wuerzburg, Germany. The project deals
with identification and characterization of novel co-receptors that interact
with members of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) to modulate BMP
signaling. The project is highly interdisciplinary and ranges from protein
chemistry/structural biology to bone homeostasis and tissue regeneration. It
will include bacterial and mammalian protein _expression_, crystallization
studies, biochemical and biophysical analysis of the proteins investigated, cellular
assays and high-resolution microscopy.
The position is
fully funded for 3.5 years (50%, TV-L E13). The desired starting date is
between 10/2019 and 01/2020. Further information on the research group of Prof. Dr. Thomas
Mueller (https://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/bot1/research/prof-dr-thomas-mueller/) can be found
online. The ideal
candidate has a MSc degree in Biology/Biochemistry (or related) with previous
MSc thesis research expertise in structure biology, and/or protein chemistry.
The University of Wuerzburg is an equal opportunity employer
and particularly welcomes applications of qualified women and individuals with
disabilities. Applications are only accepted electronically as a single PDF file containing the relevant information (motivation letter, CV, A-level/BSc/MSc diplomas, transcripts of records, names of 2 references, and, if available, letters of recommendation). Please send them to the email address mueller@biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de. Applications will be continuously reviewed until the position has been filled. Funding Notes All students holding an MSc or an equivalent degree at the time of employment are eligible; EU and non-EU nationals are eligible.
