Two PhD Positions in Mass Spectrometry

 

We seek to fill two PhD positions in our research group in the course of 2018-2019. The topics of the PhD theses will be in one of the following areas; Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry, assisted by high-mass detection and chemical cross-linking to investigate large proteins and multi-protein complexes, in particular membrane-bound proteins and protein complexes, - Application of native electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry to study noncovalent interactions, especially of complex biomolecular systems with cofactors and multiple ligand binding sites. We work mostly with ESI-MS titration and competition methods.

 

Prerequisites are a M.Sc. degree, Diploma or equivalent in Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochmistry or related area, strong interest in the development and application of modern instrumentation. The Starting date is as early as May-June 2018 (position is available immediately), or upon mutual agreement.
