Inflammation research represents one of the fastest growing academic disciplines with a large potential for translation into novel diagnostics and therapies. The universities of Kiel and Lübeck, the Leibniz Center for Medicine and Biosciences (Borstel) and the Max Planck Institute for Evolution ary Biology (Plön), have established the multi-disciplinary research network ”Inflammation at Interfaces“. Focus is the study of mechanisms of chronic inflammatory diseases of barrier organs (e.g. lung, skin, intestine).
The DFG Excellence Cluster provides superb infrastructures and career perspectives to young researchers. In the “Chlamydial host interactive proteins (CHIP)” group the following scientific position is immediately available:
PostDoc-position (E 13/ E14)
The position is located at the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene (coordinator: PD Dr. Jan Rupp), University of Lübeck. The project focuses on the identification of microbial and host proteins relevant to formation and function of the intracellular chlamydial inclusion. The aim is to determine the proteome of the chlamydial inclusion membrane by using a novel separation technique and high-throughput proteome analysis. The successful candidate should have a doctoral degree in biochemistry, molecular biology or equivalent. We offer an interesting research project, wellequipped laboratories and a fruitful and interconnected scientific atmosphere.
The position is initially funded for 3 years and may be extended for 2 years in the case of a positive evaluation.
