[General] Open PhD and Postdoc position -- MPI of Biophysics, Frankfurt

---PhD position in Image Processing in Cryo Electron Tomography (MPI of Biophysics, Frankfurt)--- The Image Processing group (https://www.biophys.mpg.de/molecular-sociology/image_processing) at Max Planck Institute of Biophysics (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) aims to facilitate in situ structural analysis by developing novel algorithms for cryo electron tomography and subtomogram averaging. Our method development focuses on integrating contextual information provided either directly within the tomogram or by other sources (molecular dynamics, mass spectrometry) into subtomogram averaging routines (for examples, see our latest work on in situ structural analysis of Sars-CoV-2: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.abd5223). We seek to recruit a PhD Candidate (f/m/d) in Image Processing. Applicants should hold a Master degree in computer science, visual computing, applied mathematics, physics, biophysics, or a related field. The ideal candidates will have experience in one or more of the following subject areas: - image processing - computer graphics (especially geometry/topology) - applied mathematics - strong programming skills in some object-oriented language (C++, Python) Applications should contain a short motivation explaining your interest in and fit to the position, a CV including contact information for at least one reference and transcript of records. Please send applications to Beata.Turonova(a)biophys.mpg.de by September 30, 2021. Applications received after September 30 will be considered in the case the position will not be filled by then. Please forward this announcement to potentially interested candidates. ---Postdoctoral position at MPI of Biophysics (Frankfurt am Main) funded by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative--- The Departments of Molecular Sociology (Beck and Turonova Labs) and Theoretical Biophysics (Hummer Lab) study the structure and function of macromolecular assemblies with a focus on in situ structural biology and molecular modeling (for examples, see our latest work on in situ structural analysis of Sars-CoV-2; DOI: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.abd5223). Funded by a recent award from the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation, we seek to recruit a postdoc (f/m/d) in image processing for a project in Visual Proteomics that aims to detect macromolecular species in cryo electron tomograms. Applicants should hold a PhD degree in computer science, image processing, computer vision, visual computing, applied mathematics, physics, or related field. The ideal candidates will have experience in one or more of the following subject areas: - image processing - computer graphics - pattern recognition - computational geometry - computer vision - strong programming skills in OOP (C++, Python) Applications should contain a cover letter explaining your interest in and fit to the position, a CV including contact information for at least two references and a list of your publications. Please send applications to Beata.Turonova(a)biophys.mpg.de by September 30, 2021.
