The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS), both located in Dresden, are seeking outstanding candidates for
Research Group Leaders in Systems Biology
The successful applicants could be theoretical, experimental or both, and are expected to develop an independent research program. Research at the MPI-CBG focuses on the structure and dynamic organization of cells and tissues in several model organisms (see http://www.mpi-cbg.de). This experimental research is greatly strengthened by theory, contributed through close collaborations with physicists at the MPI-PKS (http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de).
In Dresden, we define systems biology broadly. In addition to more traditional activities in systems biology such as the analysis of genetic and protein signaling networks, we have a strong interest in the quantitative understanding of morphogenesis at several levels: how do molecules dynamically organize into organelles and cells, and how do interactions between cells give rise to tissues and organs? Answering these questions requires experimental and theoretical approaches, in which there is considerable strength in Dresden, but also advances in the processing and synthesis of biological data, especially images. We therefore seek applicants not just from biology bioinformatics and physics, but also from computer science and engineering.
MPI Research Group Leader positions are initially for 5 years at the EG15 level according to the TVÖD scale with the possibility of an extension. Funds are available for personnel, consumables and equipment according to the procedures at the two Institutes. Please send your CV, publication list and a short description of research accomplishments and future plans to Prof. Marino Zerial or Prof. Roderich Moessner (see addresses below), mentioning Systems Biology search, by 7 January 2011. Please also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent before the deadline. We especially encourage women to apply.
