About this position

University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) is advertising a PostDoc (f/m/d) position in the Institut für Herz- und Kreislaufphysiologie in Göttingen, Germany.

The project is centered on optogenetics and cardiovascular physiology, with a focus on developing new optogenetic approaches to stimulate muscle cells. The successful candidate will work on new channelrhodopsins and optoGPCRs in HEK293 cells, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiomyocytes. The role includes design and cloning of new constructs, functional readouts in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and other cellular models, and the chance to supervise Master, MD, and PhD students.

This is a strong fit for candidates with backgrounds in molecular biology, cloning, fluorescence microscopy, cardiac electrophysiology, patch clamp, Ca2+ imaging, and voltage imaging. The post is open to applicants with a completed MD or PhD in a life sciences subject such as molecular medicine, biology, chemistry, or physics. The team values independent, responsible, flexible researchers who can work well in an international environment and who are interested in basic cardiovascular research, electrophysiology, and optogenetics.

The position is offered as full-time or part-time and is limited to 2 years. The post mentions a stimulating research environment, excellent scientific and technical infrastructure, mentoring by renowned scientists, and access to the Göttingen Campus network, including the University of Göttingen and nearby research institutes. No specific salary or stipend amount is stated in the post.

Interested candidates should apply directly via the recruiting portal linked in the post, or contact the announcer, Tobias Brügmann, if they match the profile and have relevant experience.
