Remuneration according to TV-L
The Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging: from Molecular Machines to Networks of Excitable cells” (MBExC) is an interdisciplinary, cross-faculty research center of the University of Göttingen and pursues a novel research approach with joint efforts in modern bioimaging, in particular photonics, molecular biosciences, neuroscience and cardiovascular research. The goal of MBExC is to decipher disease-relevant nanoscale functional units in neurons, sensory cells and cardiomyocytes with the long-term goal to develop innovative therapeutic strategies for disorders affecting the heart and the brain, or both. By a multiscale bioimaging approach, MBExC aims at unraveling fundamental biological principles at an increasing level of complexity from molecular, nanoscale to network and organ levels. The MBExC research program covers gene expression and regulation, protein assembly and targeting, Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+ triggered membrane fusion as well as the development of innovative research techniques.
We are offering a Junior Fellow position for excellent and highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to accelerate their way towards independence.
Your tasks:
-Conduct cutting-edge research in the relevant fields of the Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC), Cluster of Excellence
-Collaborate with our interdisciplinary research groups
