PhD or Postdoctoral Positions, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany (2018)

The successful candidates will work in the group of Prof Teresa Carlomagno (NMR-based Structural Chemistry). The group combines a wide range of structural biology techniques — including solution- and solid-state NMR, X-ray crystallography, EPR, small-angle scattering and mass-spectrometry — to investigate the structures of large and dynamic biomolecular complexes, with particular emphasis on the RNA–protein complexes involved in RNA metabolism and enzymatically active protein–protein complexes. We are seeking three talented scientists to work on the following research projects:

- Structural and regulatory impact of tRNA modifications in bacterial infections.
- Structural basis for the activity and regulation of ClpCP proteases in bacteria as well as their interaction with antibiotics.
- Development of novel solid-state NMR methods to study RNA–protein complexes.

Details
The posts are for two (post-doctoral level) or three (PhD level) years, starting as soon as possible. Part-time employment can be arranged if desired. Remuneration is according to the German public pay-scale (Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L 100% and 50%, at the post-doctoral and doctoral levels, respectively). As an equal opportunities employer, LUH intends to promote women within the context of statutory requirements and encourages applications from qualified female scientists. Equally qualified applicants with disabilities will be given preferential treatment.
