The professorship is intended to strengthen the Institute of Biotechnology. The Institute is in the process of restructuring and will continue to develop in the coming years with a focus on biomedicine with particular emphasis on sensory methods. Inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues at the site and close cooperation with non-university research institutions such as the IZI-BB, the IHP, the IPMS and the IAP is desired.
We are especially interested in a candidate working in the field of stress responses of eucaryotic cells and tissues (human or animal) to environmental factors, preferably with a focus on (i) receptor-ligand interactions at the cell surface and/or (ii) activation/inhibition of signaling pathways and/or (iii) changes in cell mechanics. Therefore, innovative intracellular reporter systems such as stimuli-responsive molecular probes and high-resolution light microscopy methods should be used. Within the overall concept of the Institute of Biotechnology at the Faculty of Environment and Natural Sciences, the professorship is part of the Health and Life Sciences profile line and is located on the Senftenberg campus.
We are looking for:

The professorship should represent the above-mentioned fields in research and teaching in Biotechnology, Life Science and International Health degree programs and in other degree programmes at the BTU, as well as perform teaching duties in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in German and English. If there is no sufficient knowledge of German, the willingness to learn the German language as soon as possible is required in order to ensure the cooperation in the management of the institute, the faculty and in university and non-university committees as well as the teaching of the Bachelor's degree programmes in German.
