PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Functional Genomics of Mitochondrial Stress (m/f/x)
in Großhadern/Martinsried
Your tasks and responsibilities:
You will use cutting-edge tools in the areas of functional genomics, synthetic biology, biochemistry and cellular biology to unlock the inner workings of mitochondrial stress signaling in the human system. This includes genome-wide forward genetic screening based on flow cytometry, precision CRISPR genome engineering, in-organello experimentation, and the development of new cell-based assays no one is thinking of today. Your goal will be to uncover novel pathways and genetic networks that protect the cell's most precious organelle (mitochondria) from harm and decipher their molecular modes of operation. Your project will be highly interdisciplinary and offer ample opportunities for collaborations with world-leading experts in different areas of biology.
Your qualifications:
Are you passionate about research? Can you feel the thrill of discovering secrets of nature no one has ever laid eyes on before? Are you motivated to change the world through scientific progress? If you answered yes to these questions, the Functional Genomics division of the LMU Gene Center is the right place for you!
We are seeking highly motivated candidates who share our dedication to science and enthusiasm for fast-paced interdisciplinary research. You will plan and perform experiments of high complexity, analyze large-scale data, and work well in a team.
Required Qualifications:
Outstanding degree (MSc for PhD candidates; PhD for Postdocs) in the area of biomedicine, molecular medicine, biochemistry, biology, or similar
Excellent communication skills, fluency in English (written and oral)
Solid experience in cellular and molecular biology techniques (mammalian cell culture, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, molecular cloning, PCR, immunoblotting)
Prior experience in genetics (CRISPR)
Basic experience with data processing, analysis and biostatistics
Desirable Qualifications:
Expertise in bioinformatics (SQL, python, R, bash)
Prior experience in genome-wide screening techniques
Experience with recombinant protein expression and in vitro biochemistry
Benefits:
You will be part of a young and highly ambitious team consisting of scientists and students of different backgrounds with a shared interest in mitochondria, proteostasis and biological questions with high relevance for human disease. You will find ample opportunities for scientific exchange with world-leading scientists of various fields and develop your scientific career with lasting benefits through events on campus, seminars and hands-on courses. We are located in the new BioSys building of the Gene Center endowed with state-of-the-art laboratory space, equipment and core facilities, embedded in the vibrant, multi-disciplinary life sciences campus. Downtown Munich and the Bavarian lakes can be reached in 20 min, the Alps in less than 1 h. The position is initially limited to three years, with a possibility of extension. Salary is determined by prior experience according to the German public sector pay scale TV-L.
Also possible in a part-time capacity.
People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.
Contact:
Your application should consist of an informative motivation letter, CV, and transcripts of records, preferably as single pdf document, addressed to Lucas Jae jae@genzentrum.lmu.de. The University of Munich is an equal opportunity employer. Handicapped candidates with equal qualifications will be given preference.
