2 postdoctoral positions: MPI of Molecular Physiology 1298 views

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology invites applications for 2 postdoctoral positions in the Department of Systemic Cell Biology under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bastiaens. The main aim of the research is the development of a morphogenic membrane system that mimics a living state of matter.

About the positions:

• Position 1: Reconstitution of adaptive morphogenic membrane vesicles
• Position 2: Artificial transmembrane activators of signaling
• These positions will work as a team to integrate signal receiving and transducing as well as morphogenic modules in a reconstituted membrane system to generate an artificial “cell” that by recursive interaction with other artificial cells defines its identity.

Requirements:

• Applicants must be highly motivated, creative and independent
• Applicant must have an excellent academic track record
• Applicant must hold PhD in life sciences.
• Applicant must have some experience in protein biochemistry and/or biophysics and highly proficient in English (essential criteria).

Duration: initially limited until July, 31st 2020

Remunerations: as per public service remuneration scheme TVöD.

Applications:

• Applications to be sent to the hands of the scientific coordinator of the department, Dr. Astrid Krämer, email: astrid.kraemer@mpi-dortmund.mpg.de as PDF file. Application must include:
• Cover letter
• Latest CV
• Copies of certificates
• 2 references
• Submit all documents in a single application.
