Beschreibung

The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences is a leading international research institute of exceptional scientific breadth. With more than 40 research groups and some
1,000 employees from over 50 nations, it is the largest institute of the Max Planck Society.


Postdoc (f/m/d):

- gene regulatory basis of planarian regeneration -**
About us
We study the fascinating ability of planarians to regenerate complete animals from tiny tissue pieces.

We conduct worldwide field expeditions and as a result, maintain a unique live collection of planarian species with a wide range of regenerative abilities.

We have also established planarian genome sequencing/assembly pipelines and now have available multiple chromosome -scale genome assemblies of different species.

In conjunction with our CHIP and

ATACseq protocols, this amounts to exciting opportunities for investigating the mechanistic basis of regeneration, the salient changes that render species regeneration-deficient, and the mechanistic trade-offs that ultimately drive the gain and loss of regeneration abilities.

We are a young, international department and English is our working language.


About the positions
We are looking for talented Postdoctoral researchers that share our fascination with regeneration.
Current project opportunities include (but are not limited to) the exploration of:

• The gene regulatory basis of head/tail specification via
  _ATAC and CHIPseq_

:

• Deconvolving the contributions of different cell types to regeneration by

_single-cell sequencing_ approaches.

• Comparative analysis of head regeneration defects via
  _comparative scSeq and _

_ATACseq)._
-
_Comparative genomics_ of regeneration and regeneration defects.


Your Profile

• You have a proven track record in one or more of the following: scSeq, CHIPseq,

ATACseq, Hi-C, comparative genomics; structural genome variance analysis.

• You are passionate about basic research and you are not afraid of pursuing your questions beyond the current scientific frontier.
• You are selfmotivated and independent and enjoy being part of an international and interdisciplinary work environment.

We offer

• Inspiring worldclass research environment.
• Possibility to participate in worldwide field expeditions.
• Professional training, networking, and careerdevelopment opportunities; free language courses.
• Onsite health management: free fitness and yoga room, sports groups, beach volleyball league, and courses for a "moving lunch break".
• A wide range of opportunities to balance work and family life, including an oncampus kindergarten and vacation care.
• Proximity to the historic town center of Göttingen with rich cultural opportunities and a vibrant student scene.
• Beautiful, green surroundings that are great for running, hiking, cycling, and other outdoor activities.

Recruitment
The positions are available immediately, but the exact start date is flexible. The payment and benefits are based on the TVöD (wage agreement for public service personnel) guidelines.
Positions are initially limited to two years with a possibility of extension. Applications for independent fellowships are encouraged and actively supported.
