Postdoctoral Researcher (gn*) Life Science

We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility. To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in intravital microscopy in the Kiefer Lab at the European Institute for Molecular Imaging. Uncontrolled inflammatory processes are at the basis of many widespread diseases including myocardial infarction, stroke and cancer. We aim to dissect mechanisms, which act on lymphatic vessels and immune cells and impact on development and resolution of inflammation. A key unknown during the course of inflammation remains the role of hypoxia. In this 3-year CRC/ (DFG)-funded position, we will use novel genetic reporters and transgenic models to specifically address the role of hypoxia during these processes using confocal and intravital microscopy. The European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) is an interdisciplinary institute within the University of Münster developing imaging methods allowing to visualize molecular processes inside organisms, tissues and cells. With the help of imaging, we perform cutting-edge research in vascular, inflammatory, infectious, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The EIMI is located in the Multiscale Imaging Center (MIC), which hosts research groups from our university combining a broad range of state-of-the-art imaging technologies for the investigation of biomedical questions. The University Hospital of Münster is one of the leading hospitals in Germany. Such a position cannot be achieved by size and medical successes alone. The individual commitment counts above all. We need your commitment so that even with little things we can achieve great things for our patients. There are many possibilities open for you so that you may develop with them.
