PhD in Mechanism and Assembly of Ni,Fe-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (Berlin)

We look for a PhD student to work in a DFG-sponsored project on the mechanism and assembly of Ni,Fe-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases. The work includes biochemical, kinetic and structural investigations of
Ni-binding ATPases.

PostDoc Position in Molecular Neuroscience, LIN Magdeburg (Magdeburg)

AG Chemical Synapse
Departement of Neurochemistry and Molecular biology
Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (IfN), Magdeburg, Germany
Prof. Dr. Eckart D. Gundelfinger, Dr. Anna Fejtova

Project:
Role of dopaminergic modulation of synaptic transmission during experience-induced and Parkinson disease-associated maladaptive synaptic plasticity

We seek for highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with experience in one ore more of following areas: molecular and cellular neuroscience, study of molecular mechanisms of synaptic function using mouse genetics and behavioral studies, functional imaging and/or electrophysiology. The successful candidate will join our international team situated in the well-equipped, multi-disciplinary and stimulating environment of IfN and will independently design, conduct and analyze his research. This international project foresees regular exchange with partners within our consortia.

Time of contract will be 1 year with possible prolongation.

Please, submit your application including a detailed CV, publication list, names of two referees, and brief statements of motivation and research interests via e-mail (preferably as single pdf file) to: afejtova@ifn-magdeburg.de

Ab-Initio Dynamics of Condensed Matter

In the Ab-Initio Dynamics of Condensed Matter Group we are aiming to develop novel computational methods to study complex many-body systems such as liquids, biomolecules in solution and solids from first-principles. We are currently particularly interested in liquid water as well as metallic hydrogen. Along those lines we do have a postdoctoral research and a PhD student position to offer, which consists of both method development and application.
Potential candidates must have a PhD / Master degree in Chemistry,
Physics, or related discipline and a strong interest in computer simulations as well as programming. Basic experiences with Linux, numerical methods of theoretical physics/chemistry, electronic structure methods and/or molecular dynamics are highly desirable, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability.
Consideration of candidates will begin immediately until the position is filled. Questions and applications in electronic form including a cover letter and contact informations of at least two academic references should be directed to kuehne@uni-mainz.de.

Anfangsdatum: 13. Oktober 2011

geschätzte Dauer: 3 Jahre
