Description<\/strong><\/td>\nAt the Center for Molecular Bioengineering (B Cube), an Institute of the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB) at TU Dresden, in the Chair of Biomimetic Materials (Prof. Nils Kr\u00f6ger http:\/\/www.bcube-dresden.de\/research-groups\/kroeger\/home\/)<\/a> the position of a<\/p>\n

Research Associate \/ PhD Student
\n(Subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)<\/p>\n

is available immediately. The position is initially limited for 3 years with 65 % of the fulltime weekly hours as part of the DFG project \u201cNanopatterned Organic Matrices in Biological Silica Mineralization\u201d with the possibility of extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification (e.g. PhD).<\/p>\n

Tasks:
\nThe successful applicant will work on the molecular principles of silica biomineralization in diatoms. Diatoms are single-celled eukaryotes that are genetically tractable model systems for studying the fundamental mechanisms of biologically-controlled mineral morphogenesis. The research project will focus on the structural and functional characterization of protein-based silica forming organic matrices using biochemical, molecular genetic and cell biological tools.<\/p>\n

The B CUBE http:\/\/www.bcube-dresden.de<\/a> and its partner institutions, the Biotechnology Centre (BIOTEC) and the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for Molecular Bioscience research http:\/\/biotp.tu-dresden.de\/biotechnology-platform\/.<\/a> They are part of a rich and collaborative environment that includes the School of Science, the Faculty of Medicine, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), and the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF).<\/p>\n

Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Complete applications (letter of motivation, CV, list of publications, and certificates of qualifications) should be sent via the SecureMail Portal of the TU Dresden https:\/\/securemail.tu-dresden.de<\/a> in a single pdf-file to nora.froehlich@tu-dresden.de<\/a> or via post to TU Dresden, CMCB (B CUBE), Herrn Prof. Nils Kr\u00f6ger, Arnoldstr. 18, 01307 Dresden until 02.01.2018 (stamped arrival date applies). Please submit copies only, as your application will not be returned to you. Expenses incurred in attending interviews cannot be reimbursed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Requirements<\/strong><\/td>\nRequirements:
\nuniversity degree (MSc) in biochemistry, biological chemistry, molecular biotechnology, or related fields. Applicants with strong research experience in both protein Biochemistry and recombinant DNA techniques will be preferred. Excellent communication skills in English are essential as this is the colloquial language at the research centre.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
