Your Responsibilities
Autonomous research and publication activities in the field of molecular and cell biology with a focus on molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases as a consequence of metabolic dysfunction and under consideration of sex‑specific aspects.
Develop, optimize, standardize and apply experimental protocols and model systems as needed (e.g. epigenomics, single‑cell genomics, transcriptomics, functional genomics, metabolomics, in‑vivo analysis, animal models).
Participate in existing research projects and development of new research projects.
Conceptualise and implement autonomous research projects and contribute to acquisition of third‑party funding.
Present and discuss findings at regular internal and external meetings and conferences.
Autonomous teaching of courses and conducting of examinations in Pharmacology and Toxicology.
Supervise students and train new personnel.
Participate in organisational and administrative tasks as well as in evaluation measures.

Completed doctorate/PhD in the area of Life Sciences (e.g. Cell Biology, Molecular Medicine, Pharmacy).
Strong interest in cardiovascular biology, metabolism and gene regulation/epigenomics/functional genomics.
Experience in molecular biology including cell culture, NGS‑based methods (e.g. RNA‑seq) and microscopy.
Experience with relevant animal models (preferred).
Experience with epigenomic (bulk and/or single‑cell) approaches (preferred).
Software skills in transcriptomic, epigenomic and single‑cell genomics data analysis (preferred).
Successful international publication record.
Experience of applying for third‑party research (preferred).
Highly committed and motivated approach to academic work.
Independent, goal‑oriented approach to work.
Excellent social skills and ability to work in an international and interdisciplinary team.
Enjoys mentoring students.
Excellent sense of personal responsibility and organisational capabilities.
Excellent written and spoken English language skills.
