Highlights:
1. The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is an international research organization offering a highly collaborative, uniquely international culture. It fosters top quality, interdisciplinary research by promoting a vibrant environment consisting of young independent research groups with access to outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
2. The Scientific Programme of EMBL emphasises experimental analysis
at multiple levels of biological organisation, from the molecule to the organism, as well as Computational Biology.
3. Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. In addition to exciting colleagues, the
laboratory provides excellent shared facilities for a variety of advanced experimental approaches. High-level expertise is also available in Computational Biology, diverse aspects of experimental
4. Molecular Biology as well as Physics, Biophysics, Chemical Biology and instrument development.
5. Group Leader: Cell Biology & Biophysics Heidelberg, Germany The Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit has developed an interdisciplinary approach to cell biology where physicists work closely together with cell biologists, biochemists,geneticists, developmental biologists, chemists and developers of advanced microscopy methods. As a result, the present constellation of groups covers a broad technological and conceptual field, ranging from classical cell biology to modelling and computer simulations as well as chemical biology.
6. The research focuses on understanding the principles underlying the self-organization and function of complex and dynamic cellular structures,such as the
nucleus, cytoskeleton and endomembrane system, in the context of single cells and developing embryos. We seek innovative candidates working on such morphogenetic events in living cells. We will consider outstanding candidates from any area of cell biology.
7. In addition, we would like to encourage applicants with a strong background in
physics and an interest in the development of light microscopy methods or in modelling approaches to address such problems.
8. An initial contract of 5 years will be offered to the successful candidate.
9. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time of review.
10. Closing date: 18 October 2009
11. EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation.
