Postdoc (gn*) Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Biology
Part-time with 19.25 hours/week | Salary according to TV-L E13 | Job ID: 9962
This position is available for 3 years from April 1st, 2025, in the Institute for Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry of the University of Münster, Germany.
Molecular biological preparation of expression vectors and transfection of eukaryotic cell lines
Detection of reactive oxygen species and cysteine-oxidized proteins during cell adhesion by ELISA and immunofluorescence
Protein chemical modifications of cell-adhesion molecules
Cell adhesion and migration studies
Life cell imaging of transfected cells
We expect a motivated person with skills in molecular biology and cell biology. The candidate should be willing to learn new methods and technologies. The project focuses on redox regulation of integrins. With a recombinant integrin, we aim to study the redox-relevant conformational changes of the integrin, also with optogenetic methods. The technology will be transferred from the protein-chemical level to the cellular level to study integrin regulation of cell adhesion. The preferred cell systems are fibroblast cell lines. The major focus is on collagen- and laminin-binding integrins.
The daily language in the laboratory is English, but applicants are encouraged to learn German.
We offer an excellent biochemical, molecular- and cell-biological research environment with international collaborations in the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence.
