Postdoc position available Charité University Hospital (Berlin), Institute of Cell Biology & Neurobiology
In the junior research group of Dr. Mateusz Ambrozkiewicz in the department of Prof. Victor Tarabykin (Institute of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, Charité University Hospital, Berlin) a postdoc position is available.
The profile
The ideal candidate is eager to explore developmental neuroscience and exhibits passion and commitment to science, easily learns new experimental methods and provides input to address challenging research questions. A PhD degree in cell biology or a related discipline is required. Experience in animal handling and cell culture (dissection, dissociation, cell culture) and protein biochemistry are essential. Image analysis, proteomics data handling, bioinformatics and electrophysiology are an asset.
Position
Position will be funded to standard German compensation schemes for 2 years (TVöD). We encourage the applicants to apply for third party funding (especially non-German PhD certificate holders), e.g. Humboldt University – Berlin Institute of Health Stipendium.

You will be working on identifying new signaling cascades regulating major aspects of corticogenesis, with a strong focus on neuronal morphology establishment and neuronal cell fate acquisition. The working language in the group is English.
Berlin holds a cluster of excellence for neuroscience research, bringing together several top-notch scientific institutions, such as Charité University Hospital, Humboldt University, Free University, Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine and Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie. As one of the largest university hospitals in Europe and corporate didactical body of both universities, Charité unites a vibrant league of neuroscientists to promote scientific exchange.
