Beschreibung

For the newly established Cluster for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Munich (C-NATM), the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Technical University of Munich (TUM) is seeking a Postdoctoral scientist (m/w/d) for RNA - therapeutics starting at the earliest possible date.
Nucleic acid therapeutics are about to become a third pillar of medicine, next to synthetic small molecules and biologicals.

To propel the development of nucleic-acid-based therapeutics and their translation to the clinic, we at TUM and our partner LMU founded the Cluster for Nucleic Acids Therapeutics Munich (CNATM) as part of the BMBF clusters4future program.

CNATM started in 2023 and comprises 19 academic research groups and 16 industrial partners. It is our dedicated goal to develop nucleic-acid-based drugs for thus far insufficiently treatable diseases.

About the institute

The Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology (IPT) is part of the Medical Faculty at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), one of the leading universities worldwide and ranked 1st in Germany.

Next to CNATM, we take the lead in the DFG-funded collaborative research center TRR267 "Non-coding RNA in the cardiovascular system".

The IPT is at the forefront of research on non-coding RNAs and the effects of their therapeutic manipulation in disease.

We established the role of macrophage RNomes in cardiac and pulmonary disease (Science, 2023; Circulation, 2021) and developed ligand-coupled oligonucleotides for therapy (Nature Commun, 2023).

We are seeking

To support the development of nucleicacidbased drugs, we seek for earlycareer scientists (postdoctoral level) with excellent contributions to the field of nucleic acid research and therapy. A track record of 1 research articles (first or last authorship) in a renown peerreviewed journal is required.
Applicants with strong educational background in RNA biology, chemistry/biochemistry and/or omics technologies (ideally with computational background in a Linux/Unix and R programming).

We offer

A highly productive research network of academic and industrial partners in one of the fastest developing and most fascinating fields of medicine.
An inspiring international work environment with strong ontopic expertise and scientific output of highest quality.
Established stateoftheart research infrastructure and methodology, e.g. disease phenotyping, human iPS cell programming, lightsheet microscopy and the entire experimental pipeline for nextgeneration sequencing from tissue or singlecells, including FACSbased cell separation
Excellent opportunities and support programs for your transition to group leadership and tenure track.

The position is initially limited to 3 years, with the option of prolongation. Salary will be according to level TVL-13.
