The Teleman (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and Kaessmann (Center for Molecular Biology, Heidelberg University) labs are jointly hiring a postdoc through the Health and Life Science Alliance (Heidelberg, Germany) to study the evolution of X chromosome dosage compensation through translational upregulation in mammals, based on our previous work (Wang et al. Nature 2020; PMID: 33177713). Please see the link below for details (project #51 in the list of offered projects provided on that site).

Postdoc position in computational cancer biology ERC funded, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in collaboration with European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and Postdoc position in cancer biology ERC funded, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg. We are looking for postdoctoral scientists to work on chromosome instability in space and time and understand the early stages of cancer development, using data from single-cell multiome and spatial profiling in the brain and the colon. The project is funded through the ERC "Unstable Genome".

Our lab is seeking a highly motivated and skilled laboratory technician. We explore the epigenetic mechanisms and physiological relevance of gene dosage in regulating cellular function in male and female animals - from individual genes to chromosome-wide scales.

We are seeking to recruit two post-doctoral fellows with expertise in biochemistry and/ or organelle proteomics as well as cell culture to study the pathways that control the formation of the presynaptic compartment. In the project genome engineering in stem cell-derived neurons will be combined with high-resolution imaging and systems biology/ proteomic approaches developed in the Haucke lab to identify the origin and composition of synaptic vesicle and active zone precursor organelles [see Rizalar et al (2023) Science]. We seek highly motivated, ambitious, and talented scientists to join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an outstanding scientific environment to perform research.The successful applicant will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant area (e.g. biochemistry, molecular biology, molecular neuroscience) and have a strong track record of accomplishment. The working language is English; knowledge of the German language is not required.

The Harel Lab investigates fundamental questions in aging research, including why aging is a major driver of disease and the molecular basis behind the remarkable diversity in vertebrate lifespans, which can vary by up to 1,000-fold. To address these questions, we develop advanced genome engineering techniques for the naturally short-lived turquoise killifish model. We also employ cutting-edge in vivo imaging, single-cell and computational approaches, and disease modeling in mammalian systems.
