DFG funded post-doctoral position

The Institute for Cardiovascular Physiology (Director Prof. Michaela Kuhn)

invites applications for a

          DFG funded post-doctoral position (E 13 TV-G-U, 100%)

for a limited period of two years as soon as possible. It is intended to prolong the initially available contract, depending on merit.

The position is well suited for candidates with experience in cardiovascular biology, signal transduction and/or animal models of disease, who are interested in studying the role of natriuretic peptides and cyclic GMP signaling in myocardial cell-cell crosstalk. Our project focuses on novel aspects of paracrine endothelial-fibroblast communication in cardiac diseases. It is integrated within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC1525) Cardio-Immune Interfaces at the Cardio-Immune CampusWürzburg.

We offer the opportunity to lead a small team to eventually develop an independent research agenda. Our institute provides an international and team-oriented environment. It closely interacts with the Comprehensive Heart Failure Center (DZHI) and it is part of one of the main research networks at the medical faculty concentrating on cardiovascular research. For insights into our research topics and methods spectrum, please check some of our recent publications.

We expect that the successful candidate will participate in teaching human physiology courses for medical students. Sufficient knowledge of the German language is therefore required.
