  • EMBL Heidelberg


EMBL is Europe's life sciences laboratory - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology.

It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome.

Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.


A complementary position in the group of Dr Assaf Zaritsky is also open to focus on the use of data science approaches, such as graph neural networks, to identify predictive features acting as early markers for the rigidity transition.

Your role

  • Acquire and analyse live image data of developing zebrafish embryos.
  • Perform experimental investigations using optogenetic manipulations to validate the predicted markers
  • Collaborate closely with the two research teams
  • Participate in joint lab research dissemination events between the two groups.

Closing date: 12 July 2023

Contract duration: 2 years


Grading:
Stipend year 1


Reference number:
HD02434

You have

  • PhD degree in a relevant field (e.g., cell and developmental biology, biophysics, data science)
  • Strong background in quantitative live imaging and bioimage analysis
  • Handson experience with animal models
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment
  • A friendly and professional manner
  • High motivation and enthusiasm to work within an international team
  • Fluency in written and spoken English
You might also have
