Job Description

Two Postdoctoral Position working on single molecule imaging (m/f/div)

==========================================================================


The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (MPI-IE) in Freiburg, Germany is an interdisciplinary research institution that conducts basic research in two key areas of modern biology: Immunobiology and Epigenetics. Central questions address the molecular basis of cell type identities, as they are regulated during immune cell differentiation, metabolic response and epigenetic chromatin adaptation. We value and promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, so we welcome applications from all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from severely disabled people. We would also like to increase the proportion of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore expressly encourage women to apply.

Aufgaben

------------


Your role at the lab is to investigate the behavior of individual molecules and biomolecular phase transition in living cells. You will use the imaging and computational methods that have been developed by our lab to visualize molecule clusters that rapidly assemble and disassemble during gene expression to study the formation and mechanisms of these enzyme clusters that are important for gene regulation. We want to recruit postdoc who are familiar with any of the following topics

Prior background in enhancer function and gene regulation Prior background in immune-mediated diseases and transcriptional regulation

Profil

----------


We are looking for independent, creative and highly motivated postdoctoral scientists interested in exploring biophysical principles that regulate genomic processes.

Applicants should have a PhD in molecular biophysics, biochemistry or a related discipline The ability to work effectively in a team and possess good communication skills.
