PostDoc Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry (m/f/d)

• Molecular biological preparation of expression vectors and transfection of eukaryotic cell lines
• Detection of reactive oxygen species and cysteine-oxidized proteins during cell adhesion by ELISA and immunofluorescence
• Protein chemical modifications of cell-adhesion molecules
• Cell adhesion and migration studies
• Life cell imaging of transfected cells

We expect a motivated person with skills in molecular biology and cell biology. The candidate should be willing to learn new methods and technologies. The project focuses on redox regulation of integrins. With a recombinant integrin, we aim to study the redox-relevant conformational changes of the integrin, also with optogenetic methods. The technology will be transferred from the protein-chemical level to the cellular level to study integrin regulation of cell adhesion. The preferred cell systems are fibroblast cell lines. The major focus is on collagen- and laminin-binding integrins.

The daily language in the laboratory is English, but applicants are encouraged to learn German.

We offer an excellent biochemical, molecular- and cell-biological research environment with international collaborations in the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence.
