The research group „Structure and Function of Molecular Machines“ headed by Prof. Dr. Hauke Hillen at the Institute of Cellular Biochemistry is inviting applications for a
PhD Student (f/m/d). - Molecular & structural biology of mitochondria -
About us
Our group is located at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany. Our research is aimed at understanding the mechanisms of gene expression systems outside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, such as those found in organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) or employed by viruses. To study these systems, we combine structural biology (single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, X-Ray crystallography and cryo-electron tomography) with biochemical, biophysical and cell biological approaches. For recent examples of our work, see PMID: 34489609, 34135319, 38428434, 39747487, 40050611 and 40240327.
We offer access to state-of-the art instrumentation for cryo-EM (including two 300 kV Titan Krios TEMs, a 200 kV Glacios TEM and two Aquilos 2 FIB-SEMs as well as correlative fluorescent and light microscopy devices), X-Ray crystallography and various modern biophysical techniques. Göttingen is a vibrant, international student town located in the center of Germany and, in addition to its university, is home to a number of renowned research institutes, which together form the Göttingen Research Campus.
Your tasks
- Combine cutting-edge structural biology, protein- and RNA biochemistry as well as cellular methods to dissect mitochondrial molecular biology from the atomic to the organellar scale.
- Drive your own research project in a collaborative team with close mentoring and supervision.
- Present & communicate research results at national and international scientific meetings.
- Gain experience in mentoring and teaching of students.
Your qualifications
- Applicants should hold a M.Sc. or equivalent degree in the life sciences or a related discipline.
- Previous experience in structural biology, protein- or RNA biochemistry is advantageous, but not required.
- Fluent English language skills (written and spoken) are required.
We offer
- High-impact research field with biomedical relevance.
- Small, international and diverse research group with a strong team spirit and an open-minded, collaborative and respectful working atmosphere.
- Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure & hands-on training in latest methods in molecular biology and structural biology methods.
- Structured cross-institutional graduate program that offers numerous mentoring and career support opportunities.
