Stellenbeschreibung

The Neurodevelopmental Epigenetics group of Prof. T. Vogel at the University of Freiburg ist looking for a

The Neurodevelopmental Epigenetics group of Prof. T. Vogel at the University of Freiburg investigates mechanisms of transcriptional control during stem cell and neuronal specification in brain development, and in CNS disease (Gather et al, NAR 2025; Akol et al, PNAS, 2023; Appiah et al, Embo Rep, 2023; Ferrari et al, Nat Comm, 2020; Franz et al, NAR, 2019).

The group studies epigenetic mechanisms and transcription factor functions in mice and humans, applying state-of-the-art methodology including single-cell sequencing approaches, bioinformatics, CRISPR/Cas9 in iPSCs and human brain organoids. We are an ambitious group with thorough supervision and diverse opportunities for advanced training, learning and networking.

Participation in the universitys training offers for postdoctoral scientists, e.g. coaching and workshops

regular training on aspects of good scientific practice Participation in national third-party funded consortia

Please apply with:

a strong background in biochemistry, biology, molecular medicine, medicine or equivalent

documented experience in techniques of cell biology, protein biochemistry and molecular biology, applied to understand the development or function of the central nervous system

experience in live cell microscopy, or electroporation techniques would be considered as additional surplus, as is experience in brain organoid research

experience with bioinformatical analyses of large data sets and next-generation-sequencing ideally on single cell level is also desirable

very good communication skills in English, for teaching also in German

the ability to work synergistically in a team an outstanding PhD or MD degree

Passion, curiosity and high motivation for unsolved research questions in the field of neurodevelopmental epigenetics

Employment will be temporary for 3 years.
