Group Leader – EMBL Developmental Biology Unit
Posted by Developmental Biology EMBL, on 9 September 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Advertised at the following link, please find the announcement for a Group Leader position in the Developmental Biology Unit at the EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany.
The Developmental Biology Unit studies the development of multicellular organisms. Research in the unit covers all levels, from the cellular to the whole organism, and is highly interdisciplinary, combining a wide range of approaches and innovative techniques, with special emphasis on quantitative and real-time imaging. Research in the unit is firmly embedded within the overall EMBL research environment, with extensive in-house collaborations and support from world-class services, including the gene core, transgenic, metabolomics and mass-spectrometry core facilities. For examples of current research topics please visit http://www.embl.de/research/units/dev_biology/index.html
We are seeking outstanding candidates addressing fundamental principles of multicellular development across the entire spectrum of developmental biology. A focus on mechanistic studies using model organisms is desired; complementary simplified systems, such as organoid and stem cell systems, are welcome. Candidates with strong background and research using theoretical approaches are also encouraged to apply. There is the possibility to hire two group leaders in the present call.
EMBL fosters interdisciplinarity by providing a highly collaborative environment that benefits the research of all its scientists, including at the graduate, post-doctoral and group leader levels. EMBL generally hires group leaders early in their career and provides them with an ideally supportive and collegial environment in which to launch their first independent position and develop their ambitious and original research.
The EMBL International PhD Programme (EIPP; http://www.embl.de/training/eipp/index.html.) is recognized as among the best in the life sciences in Europe and has the right to award its own PhD degree. EMBL also runs a vibrant Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Programme (EIPOD; http://www.embl.de/training/postdocs/08-eipod/index.html) that promotes synergistic interactions and innovative research at the forefront of biology.
EMBL-Heidelberg has its own on-site day-care and kindergarten facilities. Heidelberg is an international university town and is the home of many highly-reputed research institutes and centers. Frankfurt International Airport is only 45 minutes away.
