Research Technician

The Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany has an opening for a

Research Technician

(position-code 11-2015)

in the DFG Emmy Noether junior group of Dr. Ivan Bedzhov. We use mouse embryos and embryonic stem (ES) cells to study mammalian development at the stages of implantation. We are particularly interested in the organization and differentiation of the epiblast lineage that gives rise to all tissues of the foetus. Technical approaches involve recovery, culture and micromanipulations of early mouse embryos, stable and transient transfections and gene targeting in embryonic stem cells, surgery and cell transplantation experiments, embryo transfer into recipient foster mothers, molecular cloning techniques, CRISPR mediated genome editing, 3D ES cell culture, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry, cell sorting, time-lapse and conventional light microscopy.

We are looking for a highly skilled, motivated and organized research technician. The successful candidate will directly contribute to the ongoing research in the lab, assisting in cell culture, molecular biology and embryo studies. Also, the successful candidate will organize an inventory database, order and prepare reagents for experiments, genotype and keep track of mouse colonies, communicate ideas and technical experimental strategies. Previous experience in mouse as a model system, molecular and cell culture techniques and immunohistochemistry will be an advantage. The working language in the institute is English.

The position is initially available for two years with the possibility of extension, starting from November 2015 or later. All conditions for the employment will be according to the regulations of the contracts for the civil service (TVöD, Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst) level E9b TVöD.

The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.

Please send a letter of application (with the position-code 11-2015), CV, the contact information of 2 referees until 30.09.2015 to:
