is looking for a
Postdoctoral Research Fellow (m/f) in tissue and stem cell mechanics research
(job code 23/2015)
The successful candidate will join a young and dynamic research team in the analysis of tissue and stem cell mechanics in morphogenesis, maintenance and disease. We employ a wide range of techniques, including atomic force microscopy, materials chemistry, cell biology, live cell imaging, and mouse genetics to study how mechanical forces within tissues and single cells regulate stem cell fate decisions, tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. This post is available from the 1st of February 2016.
Qualifications
The applicant is required to hold PhD in biology, genetics, biochemistry or a related field, as well as strong written and oral communication skills. The working language is of the lab is English; knowledge of the German language is not necessary. Experience in cell biology and imaging are required, experience in atomic force microscopy is an advantage.
Research environment
The Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing was founded in 2008 for the purpose of understanding fundamental mechanisms of healthy ageing. It is part of a broad network of research institutions in the Cologne-Bonn area dedicated to research on ageing and age-related disease, constituting a vibrant and collaborative environment for research. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and excellent core facilities, to which the successful candidate would have access, the institute provides outstanding research opportunities for its scientists. The Institute hosts employees from 28 nations, and will grow to 350 members in the new building.
The employment contract is based on contracts for the civil service (TVöD-Bund, Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst) and will initially be time limited. The Max Planck Society is committed to employ more disabled individuals and especially encourages them to apply. We also seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and especially encourage them to apply.
