To characterize the structure of condensed matter in bulk and of interfaces, we provide access to several infrared spectroscopic techniques in combination with brilliant and diffraction-limited synchrotron radiation from the electron storage rings BESSY II. To gain knowledge of the molecular basis of the functional and reaction mechanisms of photoreceptors, a spectrometer for time-resolved absorption spectroscopy was recently developed. This work is thematically linked to the SFB 1078 (Protonation Dynamics in Protein Function) and is carried out in close cooperation with the working groups "Experimental Biophysics" and "Biophysical Chemistry" of the Institute of Biology of the Humboldt University of Berlin.
Topic of the doctoral thesis: Spectroscopic investigation of reaction mechanisms and dynamics of photoreceptors
Tasks
- Development and application of time-resolved vibration spectroscopic methods with infrared synchrotron radiation
- Investigation of the molecular reaction mechanisms of selected photoreceptors and their dynamics
Requirements
- Diploma or master degree in Physics or Biophysics
- Experience infrared spectroscopy, software development and molecular biological/biochemical methods for protein expression and purification are desirable
What we offer
