2. Two postdoc positions (m/f/d) | Insect symbiosis

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

Beetles engage in various symbioses with single or multiple tyrosine-supplementing bacteria that enhance the host’s cuticle formation and thereby provide protection from biotic and abiotic stressors. The symbiont’s metabolism is under tight host control, but the level and molecular details of control mechanisms and the processes of metabolite exchange are not well understood. However, the high degree of genome erosion in the symbionts and the tight integration of host and symbiont metabolism allow for predicting plausible scenarios and testing them experimentally. The Research Group Chemistry of Insect Microbe Interactions (Dr. Tobias Engl) in the Department of Insect Symbiosis offers a 2-year postdoctoral position (with the possibility of further extension) to elucidate mechanisms and effectors of host symbiont interactions using a range of techniques across multiple beetle families and associated symbionts.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The ‘t Hart group at the Chemical Genomics Centre which is part of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund is looking for a post-doctoral candidate (m/f/d) in chemical biology to join our highly multidisciplinary chemical biology team for a project on cyclic disulfide mediated peptide uptake. Cyclic peptides are able to inhibit difficult targets such as protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions with high potency. Although cyclization can improve cell permeability under specific conditions, most cyclic peptides are not able to pass cellular membrane effectively. To make cyclic peptides more widely applicable as chemical biology tools and drug candidates, strategies to overcome this barrier are required. Cyclic disulfides have been demonstrated to be able to undergo disulfide exchange with cell surface receptor thiols and by doing so mediate cell uptake of various cargoes. In this project you will focus on the synthesis of cyclic disulfide amino acids that will simultaneously facilitate peptide cyclization as well as provide a handle for cell permeation via the disulfide exchange pathway. The peptides will then be evaluated using cell biology and microscopy techniques.

7. Postdoctoral Position (m/f/d) | Drosophila Dosage Compensation

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

Sex-chromosome dosage compensation is one of the most fascinating problems in biology. Females carry two X chromosomes, while males only have one. Despite this imbalance, males and females express X-linked genes at roughly equal levels. How is the correct dosage of X-linked genes achieved? In flies, the single X chromosome is coated by the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex harbouring the histone acetyltransferase MOF which specifically hyperacetylates histone H4 al lysine 16 (H4K16ac), thereby triggering transcriptional upregulation of X-linked genes by approximately two-fold. Our latest research revealed that the long non-coding RNA component roX2 helps the MSL complex to achieve its exquisite specificity for the X chromosome by forming a stable phase-separated hydrogel with the protein component MSL2.

9. Postdoctoral Position (m/f/d) | Electrochemical Ammonia Oxidation

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The Haber-Bosch process uses elevated pressures, temperatures and iron-containing catalysts to fixate nitrogen with the help of hydrogen into NH3 – the key ingredient of fertilizers, transferring nitrogen from the air into our soils. If the required H2 is produced from water electrolysis, ammonia expands its role from being a chemical carrier of nitrogen to transporting and storing green hydrogen. Reversing the Haber-Bosch process, the hydrogen could then be released from NH3 sustainably via ammonia fuel cells. However, NH3 is also a key ingredient for the industrial production of various chemicals. So far, no larger efforts have been undertaken to use the electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) for direct and sustainable conversion of NH3 into feedstocks for the chemical industry.

21. Postdoctoral Fellow (m/f/d) | Biosensor Engineering

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The research group Tools for Bio-Imaging at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology is looking to hire a post-doctoral fellow (m/f/d) with an interest in biophysics, structural and molecular biology, protein engineering, and, more generally, in tool development and neuroscience. The molecular basis for plasticity in neuronal circuits is well understood, but less is known how these mechanisms are orchestrated in space and time and how neuronal activity in vivo leaves its molecular imprint. To address these questions we will engineer a palette of high performance fluorescent sensors for key events related to long term plastic change. Work will involve both structural studies on biosensor designs as well as screening approaches to increase signal strength of such sensors.

23. PhD student or Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) | Model studies of highly dispersed metal catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

We employ a “surface science” approach for molecular level understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships for highly dispersed metal catalysts supported on oxides, in particular in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction. We use planar systems of different levels of complexity (e.g., single crystals, thin oxide films, metal nanoparticles on single crystals and oxide films). The nanoparticles can be prepared by physical vapor deposition or using colloidal chemistry. The model systems are structurally characterized by a variety of techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both in vacuum and at near atmospheric pressures; Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), a low energy electron diffraction (LEED).

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The Minerva Fast Track Group “Spin-Orbital Electronics” at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale), Germany, uses methods of theoretical physics to discuss transport phenomena in solids, which originate from spin-orbit coupling. Examples for such effects are the spin Hall effect, which is the generation of a transversal spin current in nonmagnetic materials, or the Edelstein effect, which corresponds to a current-induced homogeneous spin polarization in systems with broken inversion symmetry. Our theoretical calculations base on the Boltzmann transport theory, Kubo linear response theory, and nonlinear transport theories based on the polarization operator.
