EMBL Heidelberg

EMBL is Europe's flagship laboratory for the life sciences - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology.

It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome.

Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

We are searching for a laboratory officer / research technician to join the group of Dr. Thomas Quail in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany.

Our interdisciplinary, curiosity-driven group uses a combination of biochemistry, cell biology, quantitative microscopy, single-molecule biophysics, and _Xenopus_ egg extracts to dissect the physical and biochemical principles driving genome self-organization.

We are searching for a highly motivated applicant who would establish and maintain the DNA engineering, protein purification and biophysical characterization methods in the lab, would play a central role in setting up the research group, and who would make original scientific contributions to the research projects of the lab.
