Short description of the group/project/topic of research
A joint project is available in the Raunser/Zychlinsky laboratories to develop biochemical and cell-based high-throughput assays for the identification of bioactive compounds as modulators of innate immune functions of chromatin in a high-throughput approach using the Max Planck Society's Compound Management and Screening Center (COMAS) in Dortmund.
Additional information
We seek highly motivated, self-driven and creative thinkers who are prepared to take risks in defining and addressing important scientific problems, and who use quantitative experimental, computational and/or technical approaches in their work.
Ideal candidates should hold an excellent PhD in chemical biology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology or in an equivalent area with previous experience in cell screening. Strong written and oral communication skills in English are required.
Our dynamic research environment, distinct culture, and diverse community foster collaboration and excellence in every corner of science. We offer an extensive range of benefits and resources such as:
- access to state-of-the-art research facilities
- opportunities to collaborate on cutting-edge research
- an international and exciting working atmosphere
- an integrated training program that includes lectures, advanced scientific workshops, complementary skill courses and opportunities for career development
- a mentoring program to guide and promote young scientists
