PhD Student Position - Regulation of Gene Expression

May 16, 2008

The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry is one of the leading research institutes within the fields of biochemistry, cell- and structural biology, and biomedicine. With its ten scientific departments, sixteen junior research groups, and a staff of around 800 people, the institute is one of the largest institutes within the Max Planck Society.

PhD student position - Regulation of Gene Expression (Guido Posern)Our junior group is seeking an enthusiastic PhD student who has an overall interest in signal transduction, mammalian cell biology, and cancer. We are working on a novel actin-dependent signalling pathway which directly regulates transcription (Trends Cell Biol. 16: 588 (2006); J. Cell Science 121:1025 (2008)). The aim is to understand the ins and outs of this actin-MAL pathway, especially in epithelial cells and during tumor progression.

Available DFG funded projects include the molecular analysis of the regulatory mechanism as well as the cellular function, including target gene characterisation. For further information see our webpage.

Depending on qualifications remuneration of up to group 13/2 TVöD (public service payment tariff scale) is possible.
The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more disabled individuals and especially encourages them to apply.
The Institute offers excellent scientific facilities with state-of-art equipment, top seminar programs, a dynamic and international environment and a lively city at the foot of the Alps. To apply, please send by E-mail your complete application, including certificates, research abstract(s) and the names and addresses of 1-2 academic referees.
