Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
At the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology we teach and conduct internationally acclaimed, high-quality research in Physiology, Pharmacology, Anesthesiology and Intensive care. We have around 400 employees, 30 research groups, and 90 doctoral students.
The research group led by Ana Teixeira is interested in understanding the roles of spatial organization in biological processes. To this end, we develop new tools that enable characterization of the spatial organization of biomolecules from nanoscale to tissue levels. Building on the principles of DNA and protein self-assembly, we develop methods to modulate the nanoscale spatial organization and valency of biomolecules to control membrane receptor functions in vitro and in vivo.
Your mission
The postdoctoral researcher will characterize the biodistribution of DNA-origami based nanostructures in zebrafish embryos. The project includes advanced imaging as well as single cell sequencing technologies. Further, the postdoctoral researcher will develop new methods to analyze the stability of DNA origami nanostructures in zebrafish embryos.
Your profile
Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) date of employment. This must be substantiated by the applicant's main supervisor, director or equivalent.
You work independently but also have the interpersonal and communication skills to succeed at working in a multidisciplinary team. You take responsibility and initiative and collaborate with researchers with different expertise within and outside the research group.
You have excellent oral and written skills in English and communicate effectively in oral presentations and in publications.
