About this position

University Medical Center Göttingen is advertising a Postdoc Position (f/m/d) in the Institut für Herz- und Kreislaufphysiologie, led by Tobias Brügmann. The project sits in the area of cardiac physiology, molecular biology, optogenetics, and photopharmacology, with a strong focus on β-adrenergic signaling, subcellular nanodomains, and inter-organ communication between the heart and brain.

The successful candidate will join a small, international, and collaborative research group at the Göttingen Campus. The work includes designing and cloning HaloTag membrane-anchored constructs, testing them in HEK cells and hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, performing functional readouts and isometric force measurements, and exploring combinations of opsins, photoswitches, and fluorescent sensors for all-optical experiments. The role also includes conducting an independent research project, presenting results at scientific meetings, and supervising students.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in the life sciences (for example molecular medicine, biology, chemistry, or a related field), strong background in cardiac physiology and molecular biology, and fluent English. Experience with cell culture, microscopy, large dataset analysis, and laboratory animals is desirable.

Funding: the position is full time (38.5 hours/week), limited to 2 years with the possibility of extension, and funded through the UMG2032 - Excellence through Focus project supported by zukunft.niedersachsen and the Volkswagen Foundation.
