Full time with 38,5 hours / week | Salary according to salary group 13 TV-L | Job ID : 10049

The Sánchez Lab at the European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) is looking to fill a position in super-resolution microscopy limited until 30.04.2027 according to a DFG project at the earliest starting opportunity.

The European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) is an interdisciplinary institute within the University of Münster developing imaging methods allowing to visualize molecular processes inside organisms, tissues and cells. With the help of imaging, we perform cutting-edge research in vascular, inflammatory, infectious, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The EIMI is located in the Multiscale Imaging Center (MIC), which hosts research groups from our University combining a broad range of state-of-the-art imaging technologies for the investigation of biomedical questions.

We are interested in how receptors sense the environment and respond generating selective responses. We will focus on an undervalued receptor family, plexins. These receptors are involved in neuronal development, but also in shaping the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal systems and kidney. Further, plexins regulate immune responses and cancer becoming an attractive drug target.

The 2-year position is funded by an Emmy Noether DFG grant and aims to combine single-molecule localization methods and cell biology to decipher the stoichiometry and dynamics of plexin receptors in living cells, the role of ligand binding and ligand-independent mechanosensing.

Your Tasks

We seek a motivated, ambitious scientist to join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an outstanding scientific environment. Proven experience in data acquisition and analysis of advanced microscopy imaging techniques (e.g. confocal microscopy, TIRF, FRET, STORM, DNA-PAINT) is required.
