Post-doc position (E13 TV-G-U)

to study novel mediators regulating metabolism and epigenetics in cardiomyocytes in a DFG funded research project. The position is available immediately, for 2 years with subsequent prolongation possible. The classification is based on the job characteristics of the collective agreement applicable to Goethe University (TV-G-U).

The position requires the following:

• Participation in a research project focusing on preparing samples for multi-omic analyses to clarify events underlying altered cardiac metabolism and epigenetic regulation after MI and during heart failure.
• Candidates with experience in animal models of cardiac ischemia/heart failure, echocardiography, imaging etc. as well as an interest investigating underlying molecular mechanisms.

We offer:

• A thematic high-level project in an internationally recognized group (www.ivs.uni-frankfurt.de) which is part of the DFG Cluster of Excellence “CardioPulmonary Institute” (www.cpi-online.de) and the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK.de).
• Excellent mentoring opportunities and support for the achievement of early independence/progression to Jr group leader.
• Rooms, housed in a modern research building, with state of the art facilities and analysis possibilities from integrative physiology to mass spectroscopy.

Requirements:

• A completed, very good doctoral degree in biology, biotechnology, molecular medicine, medicine or an equivalent discipline.
• Experience in animal models of cardiac ischemia/heart failure and general vascular biology techniques.
• Good self-organization and team working abilities.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
