About BioMed X

The BioMed X Innovation Center is an exciting collaboration model at the interface between academia and industry. At our center, distinguished early career scientists recruited from all over the world are working jointly on novel pre-clinical research projects in the fields of biomedicine, molecular biology, cell biology, and diagnostics. These interdisciplinary project teams are conducting groundbreaking biomedical research in an open innovation lab facility on the campus of the University of Heidelberg, under the guidance of experienced mentors from academia and industry while expanding their scientific network.

What we are looking for

A postdoctoral position is available in the team of “DNA Damage in Cancer” at the BioMed X Innovation Center in Heidelberg. The main aim of the group is to understand the mechanisms of synthetic lethality in cancer. In order to be able to identify targetable synthetic lethalities that can be used for treatment, we model genotypic differences observed in different cancer types and apply high throughput genome-wide screens. We also develop new tools and assays to characterize synthetic lethalities observed in DNA damage related pathways. We are looking for a highly enthusiastic postdoc to strengthen our team with her/his technical excellence.

The ideal candidate should have a PhD degree in cell biology, or biochemistry and a very strong background in cell culture systems and cell based assays.

Required skills

Hands on experience in CRISPR/Cas9-based systems

Hands-on experience in establishing and maintenance of cultured cells (transfection, transduction) and cell-based assays (in vitro or in vivo)

Hands-on experience in basic molecular and cell biology techniques (DNA/RNA isolation, PCR/qPCR, Western blotting, Immunofluorescence)

Very good work organization skills

Experienced to work in interdisciplinary teams

Excellent communication skills in English

Additional preferred skills

Experience in genome wide screens

Experience in 3D cultures

Candidates are requested to submit
