RESPONSIBILITIES

The Structural and Computational Unit seeks to recruit an outstanding group leader in computational biology or bioinformatics working in areas such as structural bioinformatics (e.g. modeling of protein complexes and their interactions and/or dynamics in a cellular context), cheminformatics (e.g. chemical-protein network analysis), systems bioinformatics (e.g. analysis of robustness and perturbation of networks), transcriptional regulation/epigenetics (e.g. chromatin modification analysis) or image analysis (e.g. reading out data from GFP screens or E-tomograms).

It is desirable that the new research focus complements and is synergistic with existing activities in the unit. The vision of the unit is to integrate the various structural biology approaches (Xray, NMR, electron microscopy, tomography and light microscopy) with computational, chemical and systems biology.

REQUIREMENTS

The successful candidate should have a strong motivation to work in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL reaching out to the many other computational and experimental groups.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply, please email preferably as a single pdf-file: a cover letter, CV and a concise description of research interests & future research plans, quoting BIO/10/004 in the subject line, to application[at]embl.de. Please also arrange for 3 letters of recommendation to be emailed to: references[at]embl.de.

EMBL offers a highly collaborative, uniquely international culture. It fosters top quality, interdisciplinary research by promoting a vibrant environment consisting of young, independent researchers with access to outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation.
