In the lab of Dr. Thomas Boehm (Department of Developmental Immunology) at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg is a position as Technical Assistant (m/f/d) (BTA, CTA, MTA) available. The Boehm group addresses a number of cutting-edge research questions related to the development and evolution of the vertebrate immune system (for recent review see, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 36, 19-42, 2018). To support these studies, we seek a research technician, ideally with prior experience in recombinant protein expression, purification, and structure-function analysis. The position is open immediately and initially funded for one and a half years. It can be carried out in full- or part-time.
Your opportunities
Your work will focus on the characterization of new protein families with presumed immunological functions in lampreys, the most primitive vertebrate species possessing an adaptive immune system. You will work in close collaboration with the group´s scientists, who address several aspects of the lamprey immune system.
Your tasks
You will work with a multi-disciplinary team that uses a wide range of modern techniques of nucleic acid and protein biochemistry. You will assist in expressing proteins in mammalian cell culture and E.coli, purifying proteins, and in conducting various biochemical and biophysical assays.
Your qualifications
We are seeking a highly motivated technical assistant for analytical biochemistry. The candidate should have strong wet-lab experience, ability to manage multiple projects in a timely manner, good written/verbal communication skills, a good command of the English language and have a willingness to work as part of a team.
We offer
Located in a region that connects Germany, France and Switzerland, our institute offers an international research environment with outstanding infrastructure facilities and a positive working atmosphere that places a high value on work-life balance.
- Salary according to TVöD - Bund
- Social benefits in line with public service
- Professional training and development opportunities
