Posted by Anthi Papasavva, on 1 September 2017
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
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. EMBL brings together the most talented biologists empowering them to explore bold new areas of biological inquiry.
Research in the Developmental Biology Unit is firmly embedded within the overall EMBL research environment, with extensive in-house collaborations and support from cutting-edge facilities, including genomics, transgenics, metabolomics, mass- spectrometry, and microscopy. Interdisciplinary research at the interface between development and metabolism, tissue mechanics, single-cell genomics, ecology, evolution, or theoretical biology is welcome, as are candidates using classical genetic models or new developmental model organisms.
The successful candidate should have a strong motivation to work in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL, grasping the opportunity to interact with many other research groups. In general, EMBL appoints group leaders early in their career and offers a highly collaborative and uniquely international culture. It fosters top quality, interdisciplinary research by promoting a vibrant environment consisting of independent research groups with access to outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Significant core funding and limited teaching responsibilities allow EMBL group leaders to undertake ambitious, farsighted research programs and provides a scientific environment that is particularly attractive for researchers with families.
Further information about the position can be obtained from the Head of Unit Anne Ephrussi (anne.ephrussi@embl.de).
