45,000 students and 8,000 employees in teaching, research and administration, all working together to shape perspectives for the future – that is the University of Münster (WWU). Embedded in the vibrant atmosphere of Münster with its high standard of living, the University’s diverse research profile and attractive study programmes draw students and researchers throughout Germany and from around the world.
There is an opening in Prof Martin Bähler’s research group, in the Institute of Molecular Cell Biology, at the University of Münster, Germany, for a talented
Postdoctoral/Research Associate in the Study of Mitochondrial Dynamics
Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in
(full time, salary level E 13 TV-L)
The position is available immediately until 31 January 2023. Currently, the regular full employment time is 39 hours and 50 minutes per week. All posts can, as a rule, also be filled as part-time positions if there are no compelling work-related reasons against doing so. Full-time employees are required to teach 4 hours per week during the semester.
The projects associated with this position will analyze the molecular functions of myosin XIX (Myo19), an actin-based molecular motor localized on mitochondria, in transgenic mice. Previous experience in either the analysis of transgenic mice, immunology, advanced methods of fluorescence microscopy (light sheet, super-resolution), transmission electron microscopy, or mitochondrial dynamics are required.
We are a dynamic and well equipped group. Candidates should hold a PhD degree in either immunology, biology or a related discipline and be highly motivated and able to advance a research project autonomously. The position is well suited for candidates that have just completed their PhD. An adequate contribution to the teaching obligations of the group is expected.
The University of Münster is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the proportion of women academics. Consequently, we actively encourage applications by women. Female candidates with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially considered within the framework of the legal possibilities. The University of Münster is committed to employing more staff with disabilities. Candidates with recognised severe disabilities who have equivalent qualifications are given preference in hiring decisions.
