About this position
University Medical Center Göttingen is advertising a PostDoc (f/m/d) position in the Institut für Herz- und Kreislaufphysiologie (Institute for Cardiovascular Physiology). The project sits at the intersection of biology, medical science, optogenetics, and cardiac electrophysiology, with a strong translational and cellular physiology focus.
The successful candidate will join Tobias Brügmann’s working group and the broader Göttingen Campus environment, with links to the FOR 5807, SFB1690, and EKFZ for optogenetic therapies. The research aims to develop new optogenetic approaches to stimulate muscle cells and to explore new channelrhodopsins and optoGPCRs in HEK293 cells, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiomyocytes.
Core tasks include design and cloning of new constructs, functional readouts in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and other cellular models, supervision of Master, MD, and PhD students, and development of independent research ideas with the goal of securing third-party funding.
Applicants should hold a completed MD or PhD in a life sciences subject such as molecular medicine, biology, chemistry, or physics. The post also asks for lab experience, an independent and responsible working style, flexibility, teamwork in an international environment, and a strong interest in basic cardiovascular research, electrophysiology, and optogenetics. Experience with molecular biology/cloning, fluorescence microscopy, patch clamp, Ca2+ and voltage imaging, and Langendorff hearts is specifically welcomed.
The appointment is full time or part time and limited to 2 years. The post does not state a stipend amount or salary in the text provided. The employer highlights mentoring, excellent scientific and technical infrastructure, and a range of employee benefits at UMG.
Applications should be submitted directly via the recruiting portal, or interested candidates may contact Tobias Brügmann for further information.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
