Group leader, Postdoc and PhD position University of Regensburg

Group leader position, structural biology/bioinformatics, Regensburg

The department of Biophysics (chair: H. R. Kalbitzer) is focused on
problems of structural biology with the methodological focus on magnetic
resonance spectroscopy, especially high-pressure NMR spectroscopy,
in-vitro-translation and the development of programs for the automated
NMR structure determination
(http://www.biologie.uni-regensburg.de/Biophysik/
Kalbitzer/index.html). Biochemical topics are the intracellular signal
transduction, ionic channels, membrane transport systems, systems
biology, metabonomics, and rational drug design. In bioinformatics we
develop together with Bruker Biospin programs for the automated analysis
of NMR spectra and structure determination (AUREMOL).

Applicants should have a strong interest in biological, structure
related questions. Besides own projects they should work on the
development of the program AUREMOL together with diploma and doctoral
students and other postdocs. They should have a PhD and experience in
the field of biological NMR spectroscopy of proteins and program
development.

The salary is according to A13 (Akademischer Rat auf Zeit) that is
depending on age and marital status approximately 50,000 Euro/year.
Initially, the position is limited to 3 years. Candidates planning to do
a Habilitation are favoured.

The institute is equipped with a Bruker Avance-500, a Bruker
Avance-600, and a Bruker Avance 800 spectrometer with cryoprobes. It has
access to the 900 MHz spectrometer in Munich.

Applications including a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and
the names of two referees should be sent by June 15, 2007 to

Postdoc position and PhD position

Postdoc and PhD-position in NMR based structural biology
at the
Institute of Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, University of
Regensburg

Topic: Structure and function of the interaction domain of a
Ca2+-channel.
The department of Biophysics (chair: H. R. Kalbitzer) is focused on
problems of structural biology with the methodological focus on magnetic
resonance spectroscopy, especially high-pressure NMR spectroscopy,
in-vitro-translation and the development of programs for the automated
NMR structure determination
(http://www.biologie.uni-regensburg.de/Biophysik/

transduction, ionic channels, membrane transport systems, systems
biology, metabonomics, and rational drug design. In bioinformatics we
develop together with Bruker Biospin programs for the automated analysis
of NMR spectra and structure determination (AUREMOL).

Applicants should have a strong interest in biological, structure
related questions. The postdoc should have experience in the field of
biological NMR spectroscopy of proteins, the PhD-student in protein
biochemistry or crystallography.

The salary of the postdoc is according to TVL13 that is depending on
age and marital status approximately 50,000 Euro/year. Initially, the
position is limited to 2.5 years but can be prolonged further. The
salary of the PhD-student would correspond to TVL13/2 (approximately
25,000 Euro).

The institute is equipped with a Bruker Avance-500, a Bruker
Avance-600, and a Bruker Avance 800 spectrometer with cryoprobes. It has
access to the 900 MHz spectrometer in Munich.
In the project the structure of the cytoplasmic interaction domain
should be solved by NMR-spectroscopy and/or X-ray crystallography. Six
different interaction partners are available as recombinat proteins in
Regensburg and will be used for interaction studies. The Postdoc should
mainly concentrate on NMR spectroscopy, the PhD-student (cooperating
with the postdoc) should be responsible for protein expression,
crystallisation and functional applications of NMR spectroscopy.

the names of two referees should be sent by June 15, 2007 to
