Your tasks
Our Molecular Cardiology lab is inviting applications for a postdoc position to investigate the role of novel molecules and pathways in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Our broader translational aim is to explore these molecules as potential targets for therapy in vitro which will then be tested in vivo, including utilization of cardiac gene transfer (AAV-based) and small molecule screens. As part of the newly formed CRC 1550 - Molecular Circuits of Heart Disease, we have established collaborations with multiple established PIs within the Heidelberg and Mannheim experimental and clinical cardiovascular communities. As such, successful candidates will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment and the opportunity to thrive in a highly collaborative scientific environment.
In our molecular cardiology lab within a modern research building we offer a dynamic and highly interactive and cross-disciplinary research environment. All OMICs experiments will be analyzed in cooperation with excellent groups on campus which offers additional learning opportunities. As our group is part of the DZHK (“Deutsches Zentrum für Herz-Kreislaufforschung”) you'll have access to additional education and mentoring programs as well as specific young investigator funding opportunities.
