About this position
Postdoctoral opening in structural biology at Saarland University, Germany, in a new microbiology group led by Luis Linares-Otoya.
The lab studies novel secretion systems and sensing mechanisms in human microbiome bacteria, with a particular focus on Bacteroidota. The research aims to understand how these systems work at the molecular level and how they may be leveraged for synthetic biology.
The position is especially suitable for candidates with experience in cryo-EM or protein crystallography. The group is described as growing and multidisciplinary, bringing together microbiome research, synthetic biology, multiomics, and small-molecule biochemistry.
Application is by email: send a CV and a 1-page statement of research interests to [email protected]. The post says to apply ideally by the first week of October.
This is a strong fit for researchers interested in structural biology, microbiology, microbiome systems, and molecular mechanisms in bacteria.
Funding details
