We are seeking for a

Postdoctoral Research Scientist (m / f / div)

We thereby integrate molecular and cell biology with translational research.

We are looking for someone with competent engagement, extraordinary achievement, and a genuine interest in biomedical science. You may apply if you are in possession of a PhD in biology, biochemistry, or a related field, experience in molecular biology (preferably with viral vectors and 2D / 3D in vitro assays) as well as lab management skills.

You will join an ERC- / DFG- / BMBF-funded international research group in a well-equipped and scientifically stimulating surrounding with a communicative atmosphere. We offer support and assistance in designing your own approaches and provide access to state-of-the-art technologies, which are conducive to high caliber scientific results.
