Postdoc Position in Tissue Organogenesis: The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, is seeking talented postdoctoral researchers specializing in the mechanisms of tissue organogenesis and repair. The group led by Prof. Dr. Meritxell Huch focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular processes that regulate tissue repair and the emergence of diseases from their deregulation. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a highly interdisciplinary, international, and collaborative research environment.
Postdoc Position in the Mechanisms of Tissue Organogenesis and Repair
Designation
Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d)
Research Area
Mechanisms of Tissue Organogenesis and Repair
Location
Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification
- Doctoral degree
- Experience: Documented experience in molecular, cell culture, and in vivo techniques (e.g., tissue culture, mouse models, FACS, genome-wide and omics approaches)
- Research Background: Beneficial experience in epigenetics, metabolism, cell biology, cell-matrix, or cell-adhesion
- Skills: Excellent communication and data presentation skills
- Language: Proficient command of the English language
Job Description
Successful candidates will investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating tissue repair and the emergence of diseases, with a focus on fibrosis and cancer. Key responsibilities will include:
- Studying epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming in regenerative states
- Exploring gene regulation and metabolic rewiring in tissue dynamics
- Investigating cell-cell interactions between stromal and epithelial cells to understand their role in regeneration and quiescence
- Analyzing cell adhesion and cell matrix interactions to identify the direct players involved in tissue regulation
