The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), and the Center for System Biology Dresden (CSBD) is offering 2 Postdoctoral Positions in Biophysics at Kreysing Lab.

About the position:

• Exploit this technique for the active micro-rheology of phase-separated compartments, as well as precision micro-manipulations of organelles within cells and early embryos (C. elegans and mouse).
• By this approach we aim to reveal structure-function relationships underlying cellular organization and to gain control of central developmental programs.
• Long term aims include enhanced clinical diagnostics and early development assistance.

Requirements:

• Candidates must have a strong background in Biophysics, Quantitative Biology or related disciplines.
• Candidates should be familiar with at least several of the following techniques: Light Microscopy, optics (i.e. optical tweezers), cell culture, C. elegans research, programming (python and/or labview), and quantitative data analysis.
• Excellent English communication skills (spoken and in writing) are required.

Duration: initially limited to 2 years; possibility of extension.

Applications:

• Apply online and applications must include the following:
• Cover letter indicating the motivation to apply for this position,
• CV including a publication list,
• Concise description of previous research accomplishments (<1 page), and
• Contact details of at least 2 approachable academic referees
• Quote Code 2019-PostDoc-2290
