About this position

A postdoctoral position is available at the Institute of Cell Biology and Biophysics, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, focusing on biofabrication and the development of a 3D in vitro cranial suture model. The research is part of a collaborative, third-party funded project aiming to develop and characterize a cell culture model for craniosynostosis caused by IL11RA mutations, with the goal of advancing new siRNA-based therapeutics. The project employs advanced 3D cell culture technologies, stem cell biology, gene expression analysis, and 3D imaging techniques.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and characterizing an in vitro cranial suture model, using primary stem cells and cell lines, and optimizing cell culture systems. Tasks include establishing scalable tissue building block production, planning and conducting experiments, analyzing data, presenting at international conferences, and preparing publications. The role also involves standardizing workflows for gene expression analysis and 3D image processing, and collaborating within a dynamic, interdisciplinary team.

Applicants must have a university degree and a completed doctorate in biology, biotechnology, life sciences, or a related field. Essential qualifications include experience with adherent stem cell culture, 3D cell culture approaches (such as spheroids, organoids, hydrogels), and expertise in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, or biomaterial–cell interactions. Analytical skills, proficiency in German and English, motivation, creativity, and teamwork are required. Experience in flow cytometry, single-cell gene expression, 3D imaging, and bioinformatics is advantageous.

The position is fully funded (salary scale 13 TV-L, 100%) for 36 months, with excellent working conditions, opportunities for professional development, and support for work-life balance. Applications from diverse backgrounds are encouraged, and equal opportunity is a core value at Leibniz University Hannover.

To apply, submit your application and supporting documents by March 1st, 2026, electronically to [email protected] or by post. For further information, contact Prof. Dr. Dominik Egger.

Funding details

The position is third-party funded, full-time (salary scale 13 TV-L, 100%), and fixed-term for 36 months. No explicit mention of stipend amount, but it is a fully funded postdoctoral research staff position with standard German academic employment benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a university science degree in biology, biotechnology, life sciences, or a related discipline, and a completed relevant doctorate. Essential experience includes cell culture of adherent stem cells, analysis techniques such as qPCR, immunohistochemistry, viability assays, and phenotyping. Experience with 3D cell culture approaches (spheroids, organoids, hydrogels) is required. In-depth expertise in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, or biomaterial–cell interactions is expected. Analytical skills, excellent communication in German and English, high motivation, creativity, team spirit, and responsibility are required. Experience in flow cytometry, single-cell gene expression analyses, 3D imaging techniques, and bioinformatics is advantageous.
