About this position

University Medical Center Göttingen is recruiting a Postdoc Position (f/m/d) in the Institut für Herz- und Kreislaufphysiologie. The project focuses on β-adrenergic signaling in cardiovascular physiology, with a particular interest in the functional effects of endogenous β-adrenergic receptor localization in cardiomyocytes.

The research group combines photopharmacology, optogenetic stimulation, fluorescent sensors, and all-optical experimental approaches to study subcellular signaling networks and inter-organ communication between the heart and the brain. The advertised work includes designing and testing HaloTag membrane-anchored constructs, functional readouts in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, isometric force measurements in ventricular slices from mice and humans, and independent research within a collaborative team.

This is a full-time postdoctoral position (38.5 hours/week) for 2 years, with the possibility of extension. Funding is provided through the UMG2032 - Excellence through Focus project, funded by zukunft.niedersachsen and the Volkswagen Foundation.

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

Applications should be submitted via the recruiting portal link provided in the post. For questions, contact Aida Garrido Charles at [email protected].

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.
