POSTDOCTORAL and Ph.D. STUDENT POSITIONS
in the department of Molecular Stem Cell Biology, head Frank Rosenbauer, PhD.
Applicants are invited to join our newly established research team at the Institute of Molecular Tumor Biology, University of Münster, Germany. Our group has a long-term interest in elucidating molecular mechanisms that control hematopoietic stem cell function and leukemia development by investigating transcription factors and epigenetic pathways (Rosenbauer et al. 2004 Nature Genetics 36:624-30; Rosenbauer et al. 2006, Nature Genetics, 38: 27-37, Bröske et al. 2009 Nature Genetics 41: 1207-1215; Leddin et al. 2011, Blood, 117:2827-2838; Ghani et al. 2011; Blood in press.). We offer a highly interactive and stimulating environment as well as state of the art laboratory facilities.
We are currently looking for talented and highly motivated PhD students and postdoctoral fellows for projects on regulation of the transcription factor PU.1 and on peripheral macrophage differentiation mechanisms. We expect documented experience in molecular and cellular biology. Hands-on experience in working with laboratory mice is an advantage. A good command of the English language is required. Postdoctoral candidates should demonstrate a strong publication record in experimental hematopoiesis, molecular biology and/or cancer research.
The positions are initially for two years, but can be extended. They are funded according to the German TVL-system (group 13; for Ph.D. Students part time). Applications should include a full CV, a bibliography (for postdoctoral candidates) and the names of two referees.
The position will be open until filled. Applications should be sent by e-mail or regular mail to
