Postdoc Research Position

A Postdoc position (TV-L E13) is available at the Institute for Neurophysiology (Group Prof. Dr. Jürgen Heschler ), for at least two years.

Project ” Functional characterization of rhesus ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes”

Description of Project

In collaboration with Prof. Ulrich Martin at the University of Hannover, we are investigating the ability of rhesus ES cells to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. The purpose of the present research is to optimise the differentiation of rhesus ES cells into cardiomyocytes and to characterize (structure and function) the resulting cardiomyocytes.

Required qualifications:
Experiments will be done using electrophysiological (MEA system, patch-clamp), as well as molecular biology (e.g. PCR, Western blotting) and imaging techniques. Further, cell culture work and cardiac differentiation will be routinely performed. The successful applicant should hold a Doctorate degree or an equivalent in Natural Sciences. Very good communication skills in English and good MS-Office skills are prerequisites. We expect high motivation and creativity. Knowledge in molecular biology techniques and cell culture work would be an advantage.

The University of Cologne is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals.
