The Center for Biochemistry and Molecular Cell Research (ZBMZ) at the Elite
University Freiburg is seeking for 3 Postdocs and 2 PhD Students in Apoptosis Research
in the groups of Prof. Dr. Christoph Borner and Dr. Ulrich Maurer

Topics for the postdocs:
• Role of cathepsins in apoptosis

• Rebuilding apoptosis signaling in yeast (in the frame of the Center for
Biological Signalling Studies (bioss) funded by the Excellence Initiative)

Topics for the PhD students:
• Mechanisms of apoptosis induction by alphaviruses
• Mechanisms of FasL-induced apoptosis in primary mouse hepatocytes

Broad knowledge of biochemical, molecular and cellular biology is required, experience in mouse work is an advantage and genuine interest in an academic career is a must. We offer excellent working conditions in a stimulating scientific environment which includes the newly created Center of Biochemistry and Molecular Cell Research (ZBMZ), the Excellence Initiative funded Research Cluster bioss and the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) as well as access to central core facilities in proteomics, genomics, imaging and system
biology at the Center for Biosystems Analysis (ZBSA).

Applications include CV, publication list, motivation letter and names and contact
information of three references, and can be sent by e-mail or postal mail to:
