The Elf group is looking for:
A Postdoctoral Reseracher in Molecular Systems Biology
Duties: Duties As a postdoctoral fellow in molecular systems biology, you will develop a new method for mapping basic processes in bacteria using DNA microscopy (Weinstein et al. Cell 2019). With this method, intracellular structures can be visualized through hybridization with unique nucleotide probes, concatenation, sequencing, and finally image reconstruction based on molecular proximity. The imaging is optics-free but analytically demanding; the project thus includes some computational science and possibly AI-based analysis methods. The fellowship is a full-time research position with teaching opportunities if you are interested. You are expected to run your project independently and you have the freedom to develop your ideas within the overall scope of the research plan. We offer a stimulating interdisciplinary environment where you will work closely with experts in microbiology, biophysics, microscopy, image analysis, and molecular biology.
Requirements: To qualify for an employment as a postdoctor you must have a PhD degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in genomics, molecular biology, physics, bioinformatics, or another relevant discipline. Furthermore, you must have good knowledge and experience of large-scale sequencing, bioinformatics, programming, and laboratory molecular genetics and molecular biology work. You must have a creative and self-motivated personality and an interest in basic research and method development. As the project requires collaboration with other researchers within and outside the group, you should have good social skills and excellent ability to communicate in English.
Desired: Experience with AI-based analysis methods is advantageous.
The application should contain:
- Cover letter (max ½ A4)
- CV including alist of publications
- Contact information for three reference persons.
