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
