Closing Date: 15 March 2021

TheMax-Planck-Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany has an opening for a PhD student (position-code 15-2017).

The position

The position is available in the group of Dr. Ivan Bedzhov that is focused on understanding the self-organization of early mammalian embryos and stem cells. The successful candidate will investigate the mechanisms of spatiotemporal organization and cell fate transitions of the early lineages. Technical approaches cover 3D cell and embryo culture techniques, genetic and genomic engineering in stem cells and embryos, cell transplantation studies, embryo micromanipulations, live-imaging, molecular biology and next generation sequencing techniques. Supervision by senior scientists and technical assistance from a laboratory technician will be provided.

Your profile

We are looking for a talented and highly motivated PhD student with strong interest in stem cell biology and mouse embryonic development. Previous research background in epithelial polarity or mouse development and embryonic stem cells is an advantage, but not a requirement. Excellent organizational skills, ability to work effectively as part of a team and to plan and execute experimental research independently are required.

Our offer

The position is available immediately. This is a fully funded 4 years position, part of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1348 “Dynamic Cellular Interfaces”.
