Postdoc Position: Neurobiology/Cell biology/Biochemistry 568 views

Institute for Biochemistry I, UKJ at Friedrich Schiller University is inviting application for Postdoc Position in Neurobiology/Cell biology/Imaging/Biochemistry. The position is available under University Prof. Britta Qualmann.

About the Project:

• The project aims at studying the membrane interactions and the cell shape-changing potential of further proteins we have identified as membrane shapers as well as their regulation and their interplay with further cellular components, in particular those of the cytoskeleton.
• By applying biochemical, cell biological, genetic and modern imaging and ultra-high resolution imaging techniques we reach detailed insights into how cells develop, maintain and modulate the specific and often very much specialized morphology required for their physiological function.

Requirements:

• Applicants must have solid theoretical and practical knowledge of modern cell and/or neurobiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and imaging techniques as well in data processing.
• FELASA B or C or corresponding qualification for animal work as well as experience in generation/analyses of KO mice, biochemical and biophysical methods for membrane and actin dynamics studies, advanced methods of light microscopy and/or electron microscopy are very much appreciated.
• Candidates need to be merely fluent English is a prerequisite for the team members, due to the internationality of the group and of the lively university town of Jena.

Duration: 3 years.

Applications:
