Postdoc (m/w/d) - Super-Resolution Microscopy and Cell Biology
Postdoc (M/F/D) - Super-Resolution Microscopy and Cell Biology
Die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.de) betreibt in Deutschland derzeit 76 Institute und Forschungseinrichtungen und ist eine der führenden Organisationen für anwendungsorientierte Forschung. Rund 32 000 Mitarbeitende erarbeiten das jährliche Forschungsvolumen von 3,4 Milliarden Euro.
The department of Prof. Stefan Jakobs (High Resolution and Automated Microscopy) at the Göttingen site of the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology (ITMP), invites applications for a position as a Postdoc (M/F/D) - Super-Resolution Microscopy and Cell Biology.
At the Göttingen location of the Fraunhofer ITMP - Translational Neuroinflammation and Automated Microscopy (TNM), we are using super-resolution microscopy techniques combined with genome editing and advanced image analysis to enhance our understanding of cellular phenotypes in various diseases and to identify potential drug targets. We are a multidisciplinary team of biologists, physicists and data scientists that intends to create added value for clinical as well as pharmacological research by using super-resolution microscopy methods.
Modern microscopy techniques such as STED microscopy enable the analysis of protein localizations and distributions at the nanometer scale. Thus, previously unknown changes in the structure and dynamics of protein clusters within cells of diseased patients can be investigated.
The detection of clinically relevant abnormalities will contribute to a better understanding of cellular changes in a variety of diseases. As a Postdoc in our department, you will handle patient samples and screen them for phenotypes to identify unknown structural changes behind biochemical defects. In addition, you will generate genome edited cellular model systems to examine selected diseases.
Was Sie bei uns tun
- Investigate samples of diseased patients with super-resolution microscopy techniques.
- Identify new structural phenotypes as a basis for drug screens.
- Execute CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and created modified cell lines as model systems for diseases.
- Cooperate with clinicians and industry partners to investigate the connection between structural changes, biochemical and pathological phenotypes in patients.
- Work in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
- Contribute to the preparation of presentations and research publications.
We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with a strong interest to work at applied research, who is enthusiastic and enjoys working in a multidisciplinary team.
- Hold a PhD in Biology, Biochemistry or related fields.
- Have excellent knowledge of cell biology and molecular biology.
- Have an interest in various super-resolution microscopy techniques.
- Have experience in the use of genome editing techniques.
- Can prove their expertise with publications in scientific journals.
- Are proficient in the English language (written and spoken).
- Have advanced communication skills.
