Postdoc Research Group Loose

Klosterneuburg (Vienna), Austria
- € 69,188* gross/year
- Application Deadline: 31 December 2024

Your Responsibilities

The research interest of the Loose group is to understand how proteins self-organize into dynamic spatiotemporal patterns. For this aim, we rebuild biochemical systems in a bottom-up reconstitution approach using purified components.

This project will provide novel, quantitative information from different scales, from the emergent ensemble behavior down to the molecular structure of protein complexes. Together, this data will reveal how signaling systems of Rab GTPases control membrane identities in space and time, thereby improving our understanding of the intracellular organization of the eukaryotic cell.

Your Profile
- PhD in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology or related field completed within the past 5 years
- Experience in protein biochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, image analysis and/or structural biology
- High level of interest in Small GTPase signaling and systems biochemistry
- Committed to research excellence with a demonstrated relevant publication track record in leading scientific journals
- A proven ability to conduct independent research, as well as to work effectively as a member of a research team
- Interest in mentoring graduate students
- Ability to solve problems creatively and carefully
- Excellent command of English (working language)
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, organizational and time management skills
