TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the
Cluster of Excellence "Physics of Life" (PoL), the
Chair of Tissue Dynamics (Campàs Lab)
offers a position as

Research Associate in Cellular and Molecular Control of Tissue Mechanics (M/F/x)

starting
as soon as possible. The position is initially limited until December 31, 2025 with the option
of extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act
(Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further
academic qualification.

The Chair of Tissue Dynamics (Prof. Dr. Otger Campàs) uses interdisciplinary and quantitative
approaches to study the physics and mechanics of multicellular systems, especially in developing
developed techniques to quantify and perturb local tissue mechanics using microdroplets. These
techniques offer unique opportunities to study physical aspects of multicellular systems. Our lab,

and Quantitative Biology in the outstanding Dresden environment.

Tasks:
We seek independent, passionate, and motivated applicants for a Postdoc position to study
the molecular and cellular control of tissue mechanics during zebrafish embryonic development, as
well as existing mechanical feedback loops. The successful applicant will work in a collaborative
manner with a highly interdisciplinary group of researchers, including physicists, biologists and
engineers.

Requirements:
A university and a PhD degree in Biology or Physics (or related fields) as well as
previous experience in zebrafish cell/developmental biology are required. Previous experience in
quantitative developmental biology and/or in the study of mechanics in zebrafish embryonic
development will be considered positively.
