The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) is a center of excellence within the Helmholtz Association that performs translational research on Neurodegenerative Diseases. The center includes nine high-performing sites in Berlin, Bonn, Dresden, Göttingen, Magdeburg, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald, Tübingen and Witten.

Description: The laboratory of Aging and Neurodegeneration has two main focuses: 1) the molecular mechanisms underlying age-related brain pathologies; 2) the metabolic remodeling in animals carrying mitochondrial deficiency. As animal models, we use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and a series of transgenic mice recently developed.

Qualification: We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in our group. The successful candidate will work mainly with models of mitochondrial deficiency. To develop this project, he/she will employ several experimental approaches. Experience with the genetic of C. elegans, gene expression analysis and imaging of mitochondrial dynamics is a plus. The position involves also molecular biology and basic cellular biology.

Employment, payment and social benefits are determined by the Public Sector Collective Agreement (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst – TvöD). The job location is Bonn. The position is available starting from June 2014 for 1 year with the possibility of extension. The DZNE is an equal opportunity employer. The DZNE especially welcomes and encourages disabled individuals to apply.

Interested candidates should send their applications including a CV and names and contact details of referees as a single file to application@dzne.de. …
