Description
The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster, Germany, has
openings for Postdoc-position (m/f/d) in the department of Sara Wickström,
M.D., Ph.D., Department of Cell and Tissue Dynamics.
Your tasks
Our research aims to uncover how mammalian tissues are formed, maintained, and
regenerated through mechanochemical signaling and cellular interactions.
Uncovering these regulatory principles will facilitate the development of
regenerative therapies and more effective diagnostics and treatments against
cancers. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and highly
interdisciplinary research team in the analysis of nuclear and chromatin
mechanobiology and its role in stem cell fate regulation. We pursue our
research questions through a highly interdisciplinary research strategy that
builds on stem cell biology, combining scale-bridging tools of bioengineering
and biophysics, machine learning-based quantitative imaging, genome-wide
analyses, and computational modeling.
Your profile
We are looking for a qualified and highly motivated Postdoc (m/f/d) with a
great interest in stem cell mechanobiology. The applicant is required to hold
PhD in biology, genetics, bioengineering, biochemistry, or a related field, as
well as strong written and oral communication skills. The working language in
the lab is English; no prior knowledge of German is necessary. Experience in
cell biology and imaging are required, experience in computational data
analysis and next generation sequencing is an advantage.
Our offer
temporary employment of two years with the option of a longer-term
cooperation according to the Collective Agreement for the public sector
(TVöD)
salary is in accordance with pay group 13 of the TVöD
