Postdoc (gn*) Biochemistry, Chemistry or Biology

This position is available for 3 years from April 1st, 2025, in the Institute for Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry of the University of Münster, Germany.

Part-time with 19,25 hours/week
Salary according to TV-L E13

We offer an excellent biochemical, molecular- and cell-biological research environment with international collaborations in the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence

We expect a motivated person with skills in molecular biology and cell biology. The candidate should be willing to learn new methods and technologies. The project focuses on redox regulation of integrins. With a recombinant integrin, we aim to study the redox-relevant conformational changes of the integrin, also with optogenetic methods. The technology will be transferred from the protein-chemical level to the cellular level to study integrin regulation of cell adhesion. Preferred cell systems are fibroblast cell lines. The major focus is on collagen- and laminin-binding integrins.

The daily language in the laboratory is English, but applicants are encouraged to learn German.

The applicant will perform the following tasks:

• Molecular biological preparation of expression vectors and transfection of eukaryotic cell lines
• Detection of reactive oxygen species and cysteine-oxidized proteins during cell adhesion by ELISA and immunofluorescence
• Protein chemical modifications of cell-adhesion molecules
• Cell adhesion and migration studies
• Life cell imaging of transfected cells
