invites applications for a
Professorship in Biochemistry Genetics (W 2; 5 years)
with special expertise in
Molecular Basis of Organogenesis and Soft Tissue Regeneration
Regeneration of soft tissue after injury is currently a central topic in modern Regenerative Medicine. Complex molecular networks regulate both early processes in muscle development as well as homeostasis of the adult tissue. Muscle and connective tissue play important counter-regulative roles during these processes.
We seek an excellent scientist with independent ideas and expertise in molecular genetics and cell biology. In vitro as well as in vivo (animal) models are expected to study important signaling molecules during e.g. muscle development. The research of the candidate should be complementary to ongoing activities at the Institute for Chemistry and Biochemistry of Freie Universität (Molecular Basis of Regeneration) and the BSRT (From Stimulation to Control – direct cellular migration to sites of injury).
Applications will be evaluated on past research performance and potential to develop new concepts of soft tissue regeneration. The successful candidate is expected to participate in the teaching obligations of her/his institute and to present courses within the BSRT program.
Appointment requirements are governed by article 100 of the Berlin Higher Education Act (Berliner Hochschulgesetz).
Applications should include a CV, copies of all certificates of academic qualification, a list of publications, evidence of educational competence (such as courses previously taught) as well as involvement in ongoing and future research endeavors, joint research projects and externally funded projects.
