The Department for “Molecular Genetics of Ageing” at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing (MPI-AGE) is looking for a full time Postdoctoral Research Fellow (m/f). The department is headed by director Prof. Dr. Adam Antebi. The Department investigates how regulatory networks govern animal health and life span. 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.
