Jena, Thüringen, Deutschland Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute e. V. (FLI) Vollzeit

The Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena is a federal and state government-funded research institute and member of the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft).

FLI's internationally visible and highly competitive research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and associated age-related diseases. Scientists from over 40 countries are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging and the occurrence of age-related diseases.

Our aim is to create the basis for new approaches in medicine as a way to improve the health of the elderly (www.leibniz-).

The research group "Host-Microbiome Metabolism" led by Dr.

Clara Correia-Melo is looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral scientist for a start from October:

POSTDOC (M/F/X) IN METABOLOMICS AS PART OF AN HFSP RESEARCH GRANT

Job-ID: 24/08


The postdoctoral research project is integrated in a Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP) collaborative grant aiming to systematically evaluate the chemical nature and source of bioactive modified nucleotides (modN), their cross-species effects, as well as a comprehensive understanding of respective modifying-detoxifying enzymes.

This research project will be performed in close collaboration with the other involved groups at ETH Zurich (Beltrao Lab) and UCL in London (Fugger Lab), which will perform work enabling the prediction and evolutionary characterization of nucleotide modifying enzymes as well as characterize the physiological impact of bioactive modN respectively.

Integrated in the HFSP Reserach Grant Program, the postdoc will also have the opportunity to be part of the HFSP wider network of innovative science.


Your tasks:
Scientific work in the Human Frontier Science Program in close collaboration with the partners

Characterizing the chemical identity, abundance, and biological origin of modN across species, particularly in human and gut bacteria samples

Using various experimental techniques, such as robotics-based tools for high-throughput (HTP) mammalian and microbiome culture and chemical analysis by mass spectrometry (MS)

Automating and parallelizing the modN profiling experiments

Planning and managing experiments

Supervising students at a different level of training

Being responsible for the project communication

Your qualifications:
PhD in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or a related field

Technical expertise in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)

Published or submitted research articles or patents

Strong commitment and work ethics and ability to work as part of a collaborative team

Good written and verbal communication skills in English

Will be a plus:
Technical expertise in performing microbial and/or mammalian cell culture

Programming skills in R or other programming languages

Enthusiasm to handle large datasets

We offer:
An opportunity to join a research project under an HFSP Research Grant including work in close collaboration with world-leading scientific institutes and integration into the HFSP wider community

An opportunity to join a very well-equipped lab with state-of-the-art high-throughput robotics and mass spectrometry instrumentation, located in a dynamic, stimulating, multidisciplinary work environment

Ability to lead cutting-edge research projects using a range of complementary methods and techniques to address focused questions

Access to multiple state-of-the-art facilities; our work is embedded in the Beutenberg Campus, an interdisciplinary base for innovative research

A position integrated in the FLI PostDoc Network; the network promotes interdisciplinary collaborations involving clinician scientists, basic scientists, and bioinformaticians and supports career development and postdoctoral training courses

The contract conditions and the salary will be according to the collective labour agreement for public service employees of the federal states of Germany (E 13 TV-L) for the duration of the project (three years planned)

Wide range of opportunities for professional and personal development

Flexible working time, a family-friendly working environment that provides a healthy work-life balance, company health management, including support for child care solutions, and dual careeroptions

Application:
Please apply online through the FLI application portal by August 31, 2024.
