About this position

The Institute of Neurobiology at the University of Lübeck, Germany, is offering a postdoctoral position in the field of circadian rhythms and metabolism during adolescence, as part of the TRR 418 B03 project. This research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is part of the collaborative CRC-TRR 370 'Foundations of Circadian Medicine,' involving multiple leading German institutions. The project investigates how circadian rhythm disruption during adolescence affects metabolic and endocrine functions, using transgenic mouse models and advanced physiological and transcriptomic profiling. The research aims to identify mechanisms linking chronotype shifts and metabolic function, with a focus on clinical translation and intervention strategies to strengthen circadian systems during critical developmental periods.

The successful candidate will join a highly stimulating research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and participate in qualification and networking events, including mentoring programs and summer schools in chronomedicine. The position is full-time (38.5 hours/week) and salary is based on the German E13 TV-L scale, with funding secured until June 2029.

Applicants must have a PhD in (Molecular) Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or related disciplines, and experience in molecular analyses, physiology, and animal experiments. Strong communication skills, independent working style, and interest in clinical translational research are required. Knowledge in chronobiology is an advantage. Application documents include a motivation letter, CV with publication list, degree certificates, transcripts, and at least one letter of recommendation with referee contacts. The application deadline is 14 January 2026.

For further information, contact Prof. Henrik Oster ([email protected]). Apply via the UKSH online portal, referencing number 27690. This opportunity is ideal for postdoctoral researchers interested in neurobiology, metabolism, and chronomedicine, seeking to advance their careers in a collaborative and innovative research setting.

Funding details

The salary will be based on the German E13 TV-L scale, subject to collective bargaining law. The position is full-time (38.5 hours/week) and includes participation in qualification and networking events, mentoring programs, and access to state-of-the-art research facilities. The position is limited until 30.06.2029.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in (Molecular) Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience or related disciplines. Experience with molecular analyses, physiology, and animal experiments is required. Candidates should have a structured, independent working style, excellent communication skills, and be able to collaborate with internal and external partners. Interest in clinical translational research and knowledge in chronobiology are advantageous. Application must include a motivation letter (max 1 page), curriculum vitae (including publication list), certificates of academic degrees and grade transcripts (BSc, MSc, PhD), and at least one letter of recommendation with names and email addresses of two referees.
