    Master's Position in Plant Molecular Biology

    Bachmair Lab Master’s position in plant molecular biology About the Bachmair lab Focus of the Bachmair lab lies on the biochemical and cell biological analysis of protein turnover driven by amino-terminal degradation signals. The biological context is how plants respond to environmental stimuli such as heat, flooding, or salt stress. Additional information can be found on the group page of the Bachmair lab. About the research project The applicant shall analyze protein turnover that depends on amino-terminal degradation signals. Firstly, expression of plant ubiquitin ligases via a synthetic biology approach in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae serves to elucidate turnover mechanisms. Secondly, expression vectors for so-called tandem fluorescent timer reporters shall be made and tested in plants. These vectors serve to investigate tissue- specificity and subcellular localization of turnover pathways. Candidates Successful candidates should have finished studies in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related (B. Sc.), and have 45 ECTS accomplished in the Master module. Interest in plant signal transduction and cellular homeostasis is advantageous.

    Mass Spectrometry Lead Bioinformatician (Proteomics) About us The Mass Spectrometry Facility at the Max Perutz Labs performs state-of-the-art proteomics analyses for more than 30 research groups at the Vienna BioCenter and beyond. Our work supports basic research in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and biomedicine with plenty of opportunities to engage in exciting and ground-breaking science. In doing so, we routinely explore the limits of current proteomics technology. Your role Modern proteomics generate vast quantities of data that require careful, and often sophisticated analysis in order to derive robust biological insights. We are therefore recruiting a Lead Bioinformatician to help strengthen our existing data analysis pipelines as well as develop new ones. In addition to supporting our team in conducting advanced data analyses you will also have the opportunity to develop your own research project. Your primary responsibilities will include: Apply existing and develop novel bioinformatics approaches to analyse data from complex proteomics experiments to help our customers answer their biological questions Design, implement, and evaluate new bioinformatics tools to extend the services and capabilities of the facility Document all procedures reliably and communicate results to customers Take responsibility for projects and report to Facility Head (Markus Hartl) Disseminate our work at internal meetings and scientific conference as well as engage with our user community to provide support and understand their needs
