Professor Sjoerd van Wijk at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover is advertising an open post-doc position in cell biology . The post suggests the opportunity is still available for only a few more days, and additional positions may follow soon. This is a research-focused opening for candidates with a strong background in cell biology and related life sciences, with biochemistry also relevant given the announcer’s training. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, fundi...

The Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Tübingen is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to join the research group of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Frank Schreiber . The project focuses on the physics of molecular and biological matter, with an emphasis on X-ray and neutron scattering to investigate the structure and dynamics of soft matter systems . The successful candidate will contribute to the development of scattering methods for studying proteins in solution and related soft-matter sampl...

Open postdoctoral position in Epigenetic Networks in Aging and Cancer within the project Transform-Me , supported by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung , at Universitätsklinikum Aachen AöR / RWTH Aachen context. The project investigates how epigenetic changes , especially DNA methylation , are coordinated across the genome and how these changes form coherent trans-regulatory networks. The research aims to identify modules and hubs that are co-regulated in aging , development , and particularly m...
