德国马普研究所酵母遗传学和生物化学博士后职位

The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg, Germany is offering a Postdoctoral Position in the Laboratory of Andrea Pichler. The position is available for an initial one-year appointment in which the candidate applies for a postdoctoral fellowship.

The MPI in Freiburg is an international research institute at the cross-road of Southern Germany, Switzerland and France. The working language is English. State-of-the-art infrastructure and service units, including transgenesis, mass spectrometry, proteomics, flow cytometry and imaging facilities are available.

Your tasks:
The research focus of the Pichler laboratory includes mechanisms underlying regulation of sumoylation and ubiquitination. We recently identified that SUMO E2 regulation by sumoylation is important for meiotic synaptonemal complex formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The offered project continues these novel findings and will employ multidisciplinary approaches such as genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and imaging.

We are looking for enthusiastic, highly-motivated, science-driven and experienced postdoctoral fellows to join our team to unravel novel molecular mechanisms.

Your qualifications:
Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree with proven research experience in standard methods in yeast genetics (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Candidates must have a strong publication record and be eligible for fellowships. Furthermore, the ability to work in a team, communication skills and experience in the supervision of students are an asset.

Please submit your application, including a statement of research interests, a CV and three references to our homepage http://www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/jobs
