Bewerbungsschluss:

Our reserach aims at understanding the dunction and biogenesis of mitochondria. Mitochondria play important and diverse roles in eukaryotic cells, and their dysfunction is linked to servere disease in humans.

We are specially interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial gene expression, in how nuclear-encoded proteins are imported into mitochondria and how the molecular defects underlying mitochondrial disorders.

In our projects, we combine molecular biology with biochemical, and cell biological approaches.

CELL 184:

We are seeking to fill pHD positions in our international research group located in the environment of the Göttingen research campus with a tight network of international cooperation.

We offer an exciting and highly stimulating environment.

Activities and responsibilities:
We are seeking doctoral students with interested in working on molecular aspects of mitochondrial protein biogenesis.

The project aims to identify the molecular mechanisms by which translation in human mitochondria is regulated in order to provide an optimal supply of proteins to cope with cellular demands.

Moreover, we investigate the mechanisms by which proteins are transport into mitochondria. Special emphasis is given to the implication of regulatory process for the pathology of mitochondrial disorders.

Our work utilizes a wide range of molecular biological, biochemical and genetic approaches and aims to develop new model systems for functional analyses.

Your responsibilities:
- combine cutting-edge cell biology, protein
- and RNA biochemistry as well as other methods to dissect mitochondrial molecular biology from the molecular to the organellar scale
- drive your own research project in a collaborative team with close mentoring and supervision
- present & communicate research results at national and international scientific meetings
- gain experience in mentoring and teaching of students

Our offer:
- high-impact research field with biomedical relevance
- international and diverse research group with a strong team spirit and an open-minded, collaborative and respectful working atmosphere
- access to state-of-the-art infrastructure & hands-on training in latest methods in molecular biology and biochemical methods.
- structured cross-institutional graduate program that offers numerous mentoring and career support opportunities

Qualification profile:
- applicants should hold a M.Sc. or equivalent degree in the life sciences or a related discipline
- previous experience in molecular biology, protein
- or RNA biochemistry is advantageous, but not essential
- fluent English language skills (written and spoken) are required
