Postdoc in proteomics
(Ref-No. 77/2016) Description: The division 'Proteomics of Stem Cells and Cancer' is looking for a postdoc to strengthen its research in the area of cancer proteomics. Our division (headed by Prof. Jeroen Krijgsveld) is funded by the Excellence Cluster CellNetworks and is part both of the DKFZ and the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University. We are housed in a fully newly equipped laboratory including state-of-the-art mass spectrometry (e.g. Orbitrap QE-HF and Fusion), and we collaborate with many groups on campus, in Heidelberg, and internationally. Our main research interest is to develop proteomic tools that help us to understand how the proteome is dynamically regulated in time and space, and how this underlies properties related to malignancy in cancer and to pluripotency in stem cells. Our current research focuses on the role of secretory proteins, protein interactions in chromatin, and proteins that interact with RNA. The postdoc position is available to work in the area of quantitative cancer proteomics, focusing on protein expression profiling and integration with NGS, or its intersection with chromatin biology and signal transduction, depending on the interest and expertise of the candidate. Your profile: Applicants should hold a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related field, and have published in international peer-reviewed journals. The ideal candidate has a strong background in proteomics with hands-on expertise in mass-spectrometry. Experience in chromatin biology, transcriptional regulation and/or cancer signaling, as well as skills in bioinformatics and data analysis (e.g. R) are distinct advantages. The candidate should be highly self-motivated, and be able to pursue research projects independently as well as in collaboration. Excellent communication skills and proficiency in English are mandatory. Full applications should include a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, certificates, expected availability date, a list of publications, and 2-3 references. The position is limited to 2 years with the possibility of extension. The position can in principle be part-time. For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Jeroen Krijgsveld, phone +49 6221 42-1720. The German Cancer Research Center is committed to increase the percentage of female scientists and encourages female applicants to apply. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, a person with disabilities will be given preference. To apply for a position please use our online application portal (www.dkfz.de/jobs). We ask for your understanding that we cannot return application documents that are sent to us by post (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Personal- und Sozialwesen, Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, 69120 Heidelberg) and that we do not accept applications submitted via email. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.Requeriments :
