Postdoctoral Researcher (gn*) Life Sciences

Postdoctoral Researcher (gn*) Life Sciences Fixed term of 22 months | Full-time with 38,5 hours/week | Salary grade 13 TV-L | European Institute for Molecular Imaging | Job ID: 10694 We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility. To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in the Sánchez Lab at the European Institute for Molecular Imaging. Here, we are interested in how receptors sense the environment and respond generating selective responses – ideally with you on board! We will focus on an undervalued receptor family: plexins. These receptors are involved in neuronal development, but also in shaping the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal systems and kidney. Further, plexins regulate immune responses and cancer becoming an attractive drug target. The position is funded by an Emmy Noether DFG grant and aims to combine single-molecule localization methods and cell biology to decipher the stoichiometry and dynamics of plexin receptors in living cells, the role of ligand binding and ligand-independent
