The Chair of Chemical Biology at the Dortmund University of Technology invites applications for
Project:
This project combines modern microscopy-based methods with computational modeling to unravel mechanisms, how signal networks control the dynamic shape of migrating cancer cells and developing neurons. To address this question, the applicant will cooperate with both experimentalists and theoreticians to perturb, measure and analyze cellular protein activities in living cells and to model the underlying reaction-diffusion processes. The project will be co-supervised by Dr. Leif Dehmelt (TU Dortmund) and Prof. Perihan Nalbant (University Duisburg-Essen) with additional support of scientists from the associated Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Physiology and the Center for Medical Biotechnology.
Requirements:
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with excellent scientific and interpersonal skills. The applicant must hold the equivalent of a master’s level degree in life sciences, mathematics, physics or computer sciences. Basic programming skills and a strong interest in mathematics are required. Candidates with practical experience in computational modeling and/or microscopy are preferred. A strong commitment or practical experience in lab work is also essential. The successful candidate will benefit from a collaborative, multi-disciplinary scientific environment that combines experimental biology and theoretical modeling.
Please note that applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to qualified disabled people. Please send your cover letter, CV and 2 references to:
