Research in the Dammermann lab is aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying the assembly and function of centrioles and centriole-based structures, including in spindle assembly and chromosome segregation during mitotic and meiotic cell division. The lab specializes in the application of advanced microscopy techniques in C. elegans, Drosophila and vertebrate cultured cells.
The role includes ordering and maintaining lab inventory, as well as new lab member onboarding and supervision of trainees. The successful applicant will also be directly involved in research, independently or together with other lab members. This is a fulltime position. The initial contract is for 12 months, but this may be extended for multiple years. Salary is in accordance with FWF guidelines.
Successful candidates should:
hold a B.Sc./M.Sc. in Molecular Biology (or equivalent vocational training)
have at least one year of prior laboratory experience
be proficient in English and comfortable in German
The ideal candidate is a responsible, reliable teammate with excellent organizational skills and a willingness to solve problems as they arise. An openness to learn new techniques is a non-negotiable requirement for this position.
If you are a molecular biologist looking to showcase your organizational acumen and expand your leadership skills in a collaborative, dynamic environment, please send your application to alex.dammermann@univie.ac.at and include the following:
a motivation letter
your CV, including detailed description of past laboratory work experience
contact details for at least two referees
Interviews will be held on a rolling basis until a suitable candidate is identified.
