Stellenbeschreibung

The Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena is a federal and state government-funded research institute and member of the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft). FLI’s internationally visible and highly competitive research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and associated age-related diseases. Scientists from over 40 countries are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging and the occurrence of age-related diseases. Our aim is to create the basis for new approaches in medicine as a way to improve the health of the elderly ( www.leibniz-fli.de ).

The Research Group led by Dr. Björn von Eyß at FLI is looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join a DFG-funded research project :

Postdoc (m / f / x)

Job-ID : 25 / 03

Application by February 28, 2025

Research focus of the lab :

The von Eyß Research Group studies the Hippo pathway and its impact on organ regeneration, cancer, and aging. This signaling pathway has two effector proteins : the transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ. The research group focuses on different aspects of the biology of YAP / TAZ. The goal is to identify novel signaling pathways that control YAP / TAZ activity.

Your tasks :

The DFG-funded research project aims to explore the “decoding of the cytoplasmic role of YAP / TAZ in cancer mechanotransduction”

  • Investigation of the role of YAP / TAZ in mechanotransduction
  • Identification of cytoplasmic signalling cues that are influenced by YAP / TAZ in a new mouse model
  • Characterization of the mechanisms by which YAP / TAZ are regulated in cytoplasmic signalling pathways

Your qualifications :

  • PhD in biology, life science, biomedicine, or in an equivalent discipline
  • Genuine interest in pursuing an independent academic career
  • Experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology techniques
  • Experience in basic bioinformatics (Linux, R) would be desirable
  • FELASA-equivalent certification and experience in the planning, execution, and documentation of animal experiments is a plus but not a prerequisite
  • Excellent spoken and written English and German

    • We offer :

  • You will become part of a world-leading research institute dedicated to the biology of aging and have the opportunity to join a very well-equipped Lab with an international team and the focus on stem cell biology
  • Access to multiple state-of-the-art facilities; our work is embedded in the Beutenberg Campus , an interdisciplinary base for innovative research
  • A position integrated in the FLI Postdoc Network ; the Network promotes interdisciplinary collaborations involving clinician scientists, basic scientists, and bioinformaticians and supports career development and postdoctoral training courses
  • The contract conditions and the salary will be according to the collective labor agreement for public service employees of the federal states of Germany (E 13 TV-L)
  • Flexible working time, a family-friendly working environment that provides a healthy work-life balance, company health management, including support for child care solutions, and dual career options
  • We provide support with various qualification and further training opportunities and use of the Haufe learning platform with numerous different online courses
