Subproject 2 - Ralf Bartenschlager
OPEN POSITION for a postdoctoral fellow / doctoral student in the research group of Ralf Bartenschlager
The Bartenschlager group is studying the interaction between plus-strand RNA viruses and their host cells. One major focus is the 3D architecture, biogenesis and molecular composition of the membranous replication organelles of hepatitis C virus, flaviviruses (dengue virus, Zika virus) and SARS-CoV-2. We use standard molecular and cell biological methods, -omics based approaches (proteomics, lipidomics), genetic screening as well as cutting-edge light and electron microscopy methods (e.g. Cortese et al., 2020; Cerikan et al., 2020; Romero-Brey et al., 2012; Welsch et al., 2009). To complement our research team and to work on the SARS-CoV-2 replication organelle, we are seeking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow / PhD student. Desired qualifications are:
- A Ph.D. / Master's (or equivalent degree) in biology or related field with an excellent publication record.
- Strong hands-on experience with cryo-EM, conventional EM and light microscopy.
- Solid experience in state-of-the-art cell and molecular biology techniques.
- Profound knowledge in cell biology.
- Sound knowledge in virology is of advantage.
- The candidate works accurately, is able to conduct independent research, but also enjoys working in an international and interdisciplinary environment. The candidate is willing to advise students in the lab.
- Good presentation skills and experience on project management (importance of scheduling, deliverables, reporting) will be highly valued.
- Fluency in English language (written and spoken) is mandatory. Proficiency in German would be a plus.
