The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics is an international research institute focused on cell and developmental biology and is offering a 2 year Postdoctoral Position for a collaborative project between the groups of Marc Timme (Chair of Network Dynamics, TU Dresden) and Dora Tang (Dynamic Protocellular Systems, MPI-CBG).
About the project:
- This project lies between bottom up synthetic biology, biophysics, theory and biology. It involves utilizing and developing interdisciplinary methodologies for integrating out of equilibrium processes in artificial cellular platforms.
- The aim to obtain quantitative models for understanding how compartmentalization affects reaction dynamics within biological systems.
Requirements:
- Applicants should be ambitious, highly motivated, independent and creative with expertise in Chemical or Bio-Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Materials Chemistry, and Dynamical Systems or Statistical Physics.
- Applicant should be an experimentalist who is excited by working across disciplines with a strong interest in quantitative analysis and interacting closely with theoreticians.
- Experience in optogenetics, protein expression, purification and reconstitution, protocellular models, microfluidics, enzyme catalysis, are preferred.
Applications:
- Application to be sent via online application system stating 2019-PostDoc-2340 with CV including the contacts of 3 researchers who can be approached for reference letters and one page motivation letter outlining prior experience and future plans.
