SNP2Prot is currently recruiting postdoctoral and doctoral researchers for the first 45-months funding period starting in October 2024.
We offer an excellent scientific environment for interested scientists of different research fields: Plant Science, Protein Science and Computer Science
at contributing institutions in Germany:
- Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale)
- Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB), Halle (Saale)
- Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), Gatersleben
- Leipzig University, Leipzig
Each of the 17 projects of SNP2Prot is designed to combine expertise of two principal investigators (PIs) of complementary disciplines. This promising concept ensures that all candidates (PhD students and postdocs) benefit significantly from the interdisciplinary environment including scientific training in structural protein biochemistry, plant biology as well as computational science and bioinformatics and training of transferable skills. Furthermore, the unique and comprehensive mentoring is ideal to develop and actively realize individual career planning.
Take the opportunity and become part of the SNP2Prot team.
