The Department for Molecular Genetics of Ageing is looking for full timePostdoctoral Research Fellows (m/f/d)

(job code 02-2021)

The Antebi Department for “Molecular Genetics of Ageing” investigates how regulatory networks govern animal health and life span. We primarily use the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and the turquoise killifish Nothobranchiusfurzeri as model organisms, as well as cell culture and mouse. The overarching goals are to reveal conserved, convergent mechanisms of longevity, and to understand how immunity, metabolism, and quality control mechanisms cooperate in cellular defense. We apply a multidisciplinary approach combining genetics, systems biology, cell and molecular biology, imaging, biochemistry and mass spectrometry in order to understand the biology of ageing and age-related disease. In particular, we have a long-standing interest in understanding how naturally occurring metabolites can serve as signalling molecules that regulate animal health and life span, and are using metabolomic approaches to identify such factors.

We seek a highly motivated, ambitious, and talented scientist to join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an outstanding scientific environment. Applicants with experience in mass spectrometry or mammalian cell culture and vertebrate animal models are particularly welcome to apply

Qualifications

The successful applicant will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant research area such as molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or metabolomics and has a strong track record of accomplishment. Prior experience with model organisms (worm, fly, mouse) would be welcome, but are not required. The applicant should have a keen interest in the biology of ageing, and excellent written and oral communication skills. The working language is English; knowledge of German is not required.
