The Department of Cellular Neurobiology at the Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institute of Zoology and Anthropology at the University of Göttingen is offering a
Postdoc Position (all genders welcome)
The position will be limited to 3 years with the possibility for prolongation and will be filled as soon as possible.
Salary: Pay grade 100 % TV-L 13 of German state regulated public service salary scale.
Your research
The position will be affiliated with the Göpfert-lab and focus on the roles of TRP family channels and molecular tethers in Drosophila mechanoreceptors. TRP channel function will be analyzed in vitro (in heterologous expression systems) and in vivo (in fly mechanoreceptors) using electrophysiology and live imaging. Molecular tethers that can be resolved with transmission electron microscopy will be traced down molecularly and manipulated to explore their role in mechanosensation. The research will be tightly embedded in existing national and international collaborations, and the position will provide room to also initiate independent, topically related research and to attract and supervise students.
Your profile
To qualify for the position, you should
• have a PhD in Biology or a related discipline
• have profound expertise in live imaging and in vivo invertebrate electrophysiology (extracellular and intracellular recordings, including patch clamp)
• have experience with cell-expression systems and animal dissection
• be already familiar with the study of ion channels or mechanosensory mechanisms or insect sensory biology
• have experience teaching at Bachelor’s and/or Master’s level and be motivated to contribute to existing courses (animal physiology/neurobiology)
• be highly motivated, self-organized and able to work in a team
• have excellent communication and writing skills in English
Our labs are situated in the Schwann-Schleiden Research Center for Molecular Cell Biology and are part of the Göttingen Research Campus. We offer a highly collegial research environment and state-of-the art infrastructure.
The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which they are underrepresented. The university has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports their employees in balancing work and family life.
The University is particularly committed to the professional participation of severely disabled employees and therefore welcomes applications from severely disabled persons. A disability or equality is to be included in the application in order to protect the interests.
