Postdoctoral Scientist (M/F/D) In The Field Of Chemical Sensory Science

The Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich (Leibniz-LSB@TUM) is a research institution of the Leibniz Association and our research group Taste & Odor Systems Reception is currently looking for a scientist as Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f/d) in the field of chemical sensory science. The position is to be filled on a full-time (100%, TV-L 13) basis for a period of 2 years.

Research project

The research group investigates the molecular basis of human taste and odor perception, its impact on food selection and the role of taste and odorant receptors in non-sensory tissues. The open position is devoted to strengthen our activities at the intersection of taste and odor reception. The project involves the use of a well-established cellular assay to identify receptors activated by food-related compounds and to characterize key-features of agonists as well as receptor-specific pharmacological properties. The development of refined as well as novel assays for chemoreceptors will be another task of this project.

Your area of responsibility includes

• Refinement, development and running of cell-based chemoreceptor assays

• Generation of expression constructs, cell lines and intestinal organoids

• Teaching of co-workers, students in laboratory techniques

Requirements:

The ideal applicant has

• A PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or a related field

• Extensive experience in molecular biological, biochemical and cell biological methods (additional expertise in related areas is highly appreciated)

• Ability to work independently and focused

• Solid German and English communication skills

• Organizational skills and is highly team-oriented
