Stellenbeschreibung
Join the Institute of Experimental Cardiology and contribute to research that advances our understanding of molecular mechanisms in heart disease. The Junior Research Group led by Dr Maarten van den Hoogenhof investigates RNA splicing, missplicing and splice variants in cardiac biology. Working in an international, collaborative and well-equipped research environment, you will combine hands-on laboratory work with key organisational responsibilities. You will use established molecular, biochemical and imaging techniques, support experimental studies and help ensure efficient day-to-day laboratory operations. The position also offers individual training, access to modern research technologies and opportunities to contribute to scientific publications.
Tasks
- Coordinate day-to-day laboratory operations, administrative processes and organisational workflows, including procurement and order management
- Perform molecular biology and biochemical techniques such as PCR, cloning, RNA preparation, protein extraction and Western blotting
- Conduct immunohistochemical analyses and microscopy-based experiments
- Support animal studies through responsible colony management and accurate experimental documentation
- Carry out echocardiographic measurements in accordance with established protocols
- Assist with and perform experimental surgical procedures, including telemetry transponder implantation and myocardial infarction models through LAD ligation
- Contribute to reliable research processes, effective teamwork and the continuous development of laboratory standards
Profile
- Completed vocational training as a biological, medical or chemical technical assistant, or a comparable qualification
- Practical experience with standard molecular biology, biochemical or immunohistochemical methods
- Previous experience with animal models, echocardiography or experimental surgery is an advantage
- Valid FELASA certification or an equivalent qualification for working with laboratory animals
- Familiarity with the ordering systems used at Heidelberg University Hospital and the MDC is desirable
Good written and spoken English and German
Your structured approach, strong organisational skills, clear communication and collaborative mindset enable you to contribute effectively to an international research team
