ERC Funded 4-Year PostDoc: We are offering a 4-year post-doctoral research position at the Center for Molecular Medicine, University of Cologne, Germany, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The position focuses on selective mRNA translation control of human cardiac development and disease, aiming to unravel the mechanisms that regulate embryonic cardiac cell fate and identity.
Designation: Post-Doctoral Researcher
Research Area: Selective mRNA translation control of human cardiac development and disease
Location: Center for Molecular Medicine, University of Cologne, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. in stem cell biology/developmental biology
- At least one first-author paper
- Experience in hESC/iPSC-based human cardiac differentiation models
- Proficiency in CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering
Job Description: The successful candidate will be part of an RNA biology lab dedicated to investigating embryonic cell fate and identity in the context of human cardiac development and disease. The project will focus on studying the mediators, mechanisms, and impact of selective mRNA translation in the regulation of embryonic cardiac cell fate and cell identity. The research will involve the use of cutting-edge stem cell and genome engineering techniques to uncover novel insights into cardiac development and disease.
How to Apply: Please submit your application as a single PDF file, including the following:
- Cover letter detailing your scientific interest and alignment with the lab’s focus.
- Curriculum vitae (CV) with a list of publications, extra-curricular activities, and contact details (e-mail address and phone number) of 2-3 academic referees.
Submit the application to: leo(dot)kurian(at)uni-koeln.de
Last Date for Apply: Until Position Filled
Note: Women and individuals from underrepresented groups who are equally qualified will be given priority in the selection process.
