Wiss. Mitarbeiter/in PostDoc – Automatisierte Zellkulturanlage

wiss. Mitarbeiter(in) / PostDoc automated cell culture facility

23.10., Academic staff

Automated cell culture systems are transforming the way we study complex biological processes. By enabling reproducible, standardized, and high-throughput generation of stem-cell derived models, these platforms open new avenues to systematically explore tissue self-organization and disease mechanisms. The group of Prof. Bausch is establishing an automated cell culture facility and is looking for a PostDoc (f/m/d)

The Mission

The reliable generation of organoids and gastruloids at scale requires both advanced stem cell biology and cutting-edge automation. Within this project, we aim to establish and operate a fully automated cell culture pipeline for pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives. The position involves developing and maintaining protocols for robust stem cell handling, differentiation, and organoid formation, while inte-grating automated imaging, quality control, and data analysis. A strong component of the work will be the programming and customization of workflows in Python to optimize throughput, reproducibility, and data management. The overarching goal is to create a standardized and scalable platform that accel-erates discovery in stem cell biology and organoid-based research. For more information go to:

Your Qualification:

• High motivation, curiosity, and commitment to scientific excellence
• PhD in stem cell biology, developmental biology, bio-technology, or related fields
• Strong expertise in pluripotent stem cell culture and differentiation
• Interest in standardized and automated cell culture systems
• Solid experience in Python and programming for workflow automation and data handling
• Familiarity with high-content imaging and quantitative analysis is a plus
• Interest in interdisciplinary approaches at the interface of biology, technology, and computation
• Excellent communication skills in spoken and written English
