vor 2 Monaten

Jena, Deutschland JSMC-Cluster Balance of the Microverse Vollzeit

The core mission of the Cluster of Excellence “Balance of the Microverse” of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is to elucidate fundamental principles of the interactions and functions in microbial communities in diverse habitats, ranging from oceans and groundwater to plant and human hosts. We aim to identify the shared characteristics of disturbed or polluted ecosystems as well as infectious diseases on the microbiome level, and develop strategies for their remediation by targeted interventions. The affiliated early career program of the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) offers an ambitious, structured and interdisciplinary post-graduate training based on top-level fundamental research.

**Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Biochemistry/Cell Biology/molecular Medicine/Immunology (M/F/d)**

**“Gut microbiome, encephalopathy and outcome of sepsis”**

commencing on (01.05.2024)

We offer a full-time position (40 hours per week) that is initially limited until 31.12.2025.

The position is hosted and based at the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine of the Medical Faculty of the University of Jena (UKJ), a member of the Cluster of Excellence consortium. Our department has a strong track record and ongoing interest in researching the molecular mechanisms of sepsis-associated organ failure and the underlying (dysfunctional) host response.

As a postdoctoral researcher in our unit, you will support our efforts to unravel the crosstalk and wiring between the gut microbiome and neuroendocrine processes, the humoral immune response and organ failure in the septic patient.

**Your responsibilities**

Pursue and coordinate research in the laboratories of our Dept. at the UKJ focused on the analysis of sepsis patient biosamples

Work in an interdisciplinary team of intensivists, neurologists, microbiologists, biochemists and epidemiologists and integrate into the Cluster of Excellence consortium.

Contribute to the development of the project, as it evolves.

Produce high-quality written reports and draft papers. Present your results at international and national conferences and at local meetings and outreach events.

Contribute to maintaining the friendly, collegial, welcoming and collaborative environment within the group and the consortium.

**Your profile**

Excellent background in cell biology and immunology; neurobiological background advantageous

Desired skills: Expertise in multi-dimensional cytometry/FACS. Experience in handling and analysing human samples is an advantage.

Strong scientific motivation, with an interest in joining one of the interdisciplinary research areas of the Microverse Cluster

The ability to work creatively and independently towards developing your own research project

An integrative and cooperative personality with enthusiasm for actively participating in the dynamic Microverse community

English communication skills, both written and spoken

**We offer**:

- A highly communicative atmosphere within an energetic scientific network
- A comprehensive mentoring program and soft skill courses for early career researchers
