Group Leader – Developmental Biology

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is searching for Group Leaders.
EMBL offers a highly collaborative, uniquely international culture. It fosters top quality,
interdisciplinary research by promoting a vibrant environment consisting of young,
independent researchers with access to outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

 
Group Leader
Developmental Biology
at EMBL 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.

 
We are seeking outstanding candidates using model organisms to
address fundamental principles of multicellular development across the
entire spectrum of developmental biology. Complementary approaches,
including simplified systems, such as organoid and stem cell systems,
are also 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.

 
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 provides them
with a very supportive environment for their first independent position to
achieve highly ambitious and original research goals.

 
EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive
conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research
organisation with a very collegial and family friendly working
environment. The remuneration package comprise a competitive
salary, a comprehensive pension scheme, medical, educational and
other social benefits, as well as financial support for relocation and
installation, including your family, and the availability of an excellent
child care facility on campus. EMBL is committed to achieving
gender balance and strongly encourages applications from women.
Appointment will be based on merit alone.
