We have an open position for a Master’s student in the lab. Your project will involve human and mouse embryonic stem cell culture, CRISPR/Cas based genome engineering as well as molecular biology, and will aim at elucidating the genetic circuitries that regulate cell fate decisions in the early mammalian embryo. You will use advanced stem cell culture regimes and 3D embryo models to investigate the mechanisms by which pluripotent cells acquire the ability to differentiate towards embryonic lineages.
We are looking for intellectually curious and motivated students who share our enthusiasm for curiosity driven science and for investigating the key mechanisms that guide mammalian development. Training and supervision will be provided throughout your project, but we also expect a high level of drive and independence.
If you also have a friendly and co-operative attitude, then we are looking forward to receiving your application, including a CV and a cover letter stating why you want to work in our group. Please send it to: martin.leeb@univie.ac.at
Interviews will be held on a rolling basis and as soon as a suitable candidate is found, the position will be filled.
