The position is funded through the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the context of the Collaborative Research Centre 1565 (Molecular mechanisms and interplay of gene expression processes) with the aim to better understand the roles and regulation of ribonucleases during the cellular stress response.

About us

Gene expression determines the characteristic features of different cells and tissues.

Dynamic regulation of gene expression is essential for cellular adaptation in response to changing conditions but is also the molecular basis of numerous diseases.

Our research group aims to understand mechanisms of gene expression regulation. RNA processing and decay are key aspects of gene expression mediated by ribonucleases.

We explore ribonuclease functions using a broad spectrum of leading-edge methods from the fields of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, including various high-throughput transcriptomics and proteomics approaches.

Our lab is embedded in the excellent, international context of the Göttingen Campus allowing a dynamic, stimulating and collaborative working environment.

Your tasks

Developing a research project studying the functions ribonucleases and elucidating mechanisms of regulation
Using diverse experimental methods, including human cell culture, genome editing, molecular biology, RNA analyses, fluorescence microscopy, recombinant protein expression/purification, _in vitro_ biochemical assays
