Group leader position at Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg

[Ilme Schlichting]

The Max Planck Institute for Medical Research has opening for an Independent Junior Research Group (Selbstständige Nachwuchsgruppe der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft). This offer includes, in addition to the group leader position, funding for a research group. 

While there is no explicit restriction on the research area, there is the expectation that the successful candidate will interact synergistically with other groups and departments at the institute. Currently there are four departments at the Institute with interests including biomolecular mechanisms, molecular neurobiology, biomedical optics, and cellular physiology (for more information see http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de). Heidelberg is one of the top centres for biomedical research in Germany and there are many opportunities for interactions with the University, including the possibility to obtain an appointment as a Juniorprofessor.

Funding is guaranteed for five years with the possibility of extension. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. Applications by female scientists are encouraged.
