Head of the Molecular Laboratory (M/F/d):

Leibniz-Institut zur Analyse des Biodiversitätswandels (LIB), Bonn und Hamburg:

The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) is one of the large, globally connected research museums of the Leibniz Association.

In addition to excellent research on biodiversity and its change, we are advancing the further development of our extensive scientific collections with an international team and state-of-the-art technology.

With our exhibition, knowledge transfer and communication work at our exhibition venues Museum Koenig Bonn and Museum der Natur Hamburg, we want to spread enthusiasm for nature and contribute with our research topics to current socio-political discussions on species loss, climate change and the protection of ecosystems.

The construction of an integrated natural history museum is being planned for the Hamburg location; the research infrastructure at the Bonn location is currently being significantly expanded.

The LIB is looking for a scientist for a tenure track position as

Head of the Molecular Laboratory (M/F/d):
at the LIB Hamburg, representing research at an internationally competitive level.

The head of the molecular laboratory Hamburg will play a leading role in advancing molecular research at highest scientific standards.

Have strong experience in data management and analysis of sequence and genome data (computational skills) in compliance with the FAIR principles.
Have experience in working with nonmodel organisms (animals).
Have experience in developing longterm strategies for the lab, meeting the goals of a state of the art central molecular lab service.
Have experience in team management and student supervision.
Closely collaborate with the LIB Biobank team by preprocessing samples for deposition at the LIB Biobank in Bonn, and by acting as liaison between researchers in Hamburg and the Biobank.
Have motivation to work in a team and take responsibility.

It is desirable that the applicant has:

A good knowledge of bioinformatic analyses of sequence data, statistical analyses and graphical visualization of data.

Experience with soft money acquisition, in particular concerning infrastructure development.
Experience with outreach involving the molecular lab.
A good understanding of German is advantageous.

The Molecular Laboratory is a centralized facility, with its branches in Bonn and Hamburg providing knowledge and infrastructure to all LIB researchers.

The Molecular Labs of both branches and the LIB Biobank are part of the Centre for Molecular Biodiversity Research and contribute to the ongoing development of the LIB as a globally leading institute for the study of biodiversity change.

The labs of both localities are independent but closely collaborate in developing future strategic developments and perspectives and in making their particular expertise available to all researchers in the LIB.

The Leibniz Association is committed to diversity and gender equity. The LIB is certified as a family-friendly institution.

We aim to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are under-represented and to promote their careers in particular.

We therefore strongly encourage women with relevant qualifications to apply.
