The postdoc will lead an ambitious research project on gaining mechanistic understanding on clathrin-mediated endocytosis using our cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy technologies, support the group on biological projects and will be involved in teaching and supervision of students. This position is ideally suited as a preparation for an own academic career, but also offers the perspective of a permanent contract as a senior scientist in the Ries lab.
We are looking for an applicant with an excellent scientific track record and excellent communication skills who is excited about understanding endocytosis and other cellular protein machineries with cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy.
The applicant should hold a PhD degree in biology or a related discipline, has a background related to endocytosis and has excellent spoken and written English skills. Experience with fluorescence microscopy is useful.
Please send your documents to jonas.ries@maxperutzlabs.ac.at and include a motivation letter, a concise description of research experience including a publication list and contact details for three references.
Interviews will be held on a rolling basis and as soon as a suitable candidate is found, the position will be filled.
For details on the project please contact: Jonas Ries (jonas.ries@maxperutzlabs.ac.at).
