Postdoctoral positions: Molecular Genetics of Ageing 795 views

The Department for Molecular Genetics of Ageing led by director Prof. Dr. Adam Antebi is inviting applications for full time Postdoctoral Research Fellows (m/f/d).

About the research:
  • The Antebi Department for “Molecular Genetics of Ageing” investigates how regulatory networks govern animal health and life span.
  • Primarily the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and the turquoise killifish Notobranchius furzeri are used as model organisms, but also use cell culture and mouse.
  • The overarching goals are to reveal conserved, convergent mechanisms of longevity, and to understand how immunity, metabolism, and quality control mechanisms cooperate in cellular defense.
  • A multidisciplinary approach combining genetics, systems biology, cell and molecular biology, imaging, biochemistry and mass spectrometry in order to understand the biology of ageing and age-related disease is applied.

Qualifications:

  • Applicant must hold a PhD in a relevant research area such as Molecular Biology, Genetics, or Biochemistry and has a strong track record of accomplishment.
  • Prior experience with model organisms (yeast, worm, fly, mouse) would be welcome, but are not required.
  • Applicant should have a keen interest in the biology of ageing, and excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • The working language is English; knowledge of the German language is not required.

Applications:

Apply online and upload complete application documents:

  • Letter with a personal statement describing scientific accomplishments and interests in the said laboratory (one-page)
  • CV and bibliography
  • Contact information for 3 references
