德国慕尼黑大学生物学院博士后职位

路德维希-马克西米利安-慕尼黑大学（德文：Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München），简称慕尼黑大学（LMU），是一所始建于1472年，坐落于德国巴伐利亚州首府慕尼黑市中心的综合性大学。

LMU FACULTY OF BIOLOGY

Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/x)

About us:

We are a diverse group of scientists aiming to uncover the molecular mechanism underlying the endosymbiosis between corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Through curiosity-driven research, we generate mechanistic insight into symbiosis, the foundation for understanding what goes awry during coral bleaching, and capacity of coral reefs to adapt to environmental change. The symbionts live inside the corals’ cells. With a cell biological perspective, we dissect the mechanisms underpinning symbiont acquisition and its integration in host cell function. We ask what happens during bleaching and what role distinct symbiont-host pairings play for adaptation. We are keen to better reconstruct the evolution of symbiosis and its relation to parasitism.

We want to create a new platform for understanding coral symbiosis. The goal of the project is to understand how the symbiont transitions between radically different lifestyles. Dinoflagellates are marine protists that can exist as free-living organisms or as intracellular symbionts with corals. The underlying genomic, cellular, and behavioral mechanisms that enable this state transition remain unknown.

We are looking for you:

Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/x)

in Planegg/Martinsried

Your tasks and responsibilities:

The project aims to define the genetic, genomic, and cell biological signature of the changes that occur as cells transition from free-living to symbiosis.

This will include characterizing gene expression, proteomic, genome structural, and morphological changes of the dinoflagellate cell as it undergoes this transition.

Your qualifications:

The successful candidate has a firm background in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, advanced imaging (or similar).

Proficiency in English.

We expect good communication skills, the ability to work independently as well contributing to a diverse research team, as well as contributing to teaching in the BSc-Biology and the MSc-programs and supervising students.

Benefits:

This position offers the opportunity to work in a diverse, international team, dedicated to advancing our understanding of coral symbiosis.Our research is highly topical and we seek to actively contribute to a sustainable world. We offer various training opportunities and participation in outreach activities. If applicable, we offer participation in coral reef field work in Okinawa (Japan). For more information

Researchers are supported by an excellent laboratory infrastructure at the HighTechCampus Planegg-Martinsried, on the outskirts of Munich, which is part of the largest German University.

We value good communication, a pleasant working atmosphere and personal responsibility. We are also dedicated to contribute to open and reproducible science.

Successful candidates will be offered an E13 position (100%), which will be initially for two years with the option for extension. Applying for independent funding is expected.

In addition, you can benefit from the various LMU corporate benefits

Also possible in a part-time capacity.

People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.

Contact:

Candidates should send a motivation letter and CV (one PDF, max. 5MB; including three contacts for references) addressed to Prof. Annika Guse.

Please let us know briefly in your cover letter through which medium/website/etc. you became aware of our job advertisement.

Where knowledge is everything.

LMU researchers work at the highest level on the great questions affecting people, society, culture, the environment and technology — supported by experts in administration, IT and tech. Become part of LMU Munich!
