Your future with us

We are one of the leading university hospitals in Germany and network research, teaching and health care at the highest level. That's why many things are a lot bigger for us: the spectrum of exciting development opportunities. The limitless openness with which specialists from all over the world work together here. Or our commitment as an employer to support all employees as best we can in reconciling their job with their goals and life situations.

This is the University Hospital of Cologne: Everything but ordinary.

Your future in detail

is a recently established DFG-funded Emmy-Noether research group at the Center for Biochemistry, University of Cologne.

We are located on one of Europe's top research campuses with state-of-the-art facilities. We aim to understand why, in the eukaryotic secretory pathway, so many similar proteins function alongside each other. These similar machineries – called homologs – can 'back each other up' with shared functions. However, all of them also have important unique functions and features, and for most, we still don't know what underlying molecular mechanisms define this specificity. To uncover these, we use a combination of high-throughput protein interactor profiling, cell biology and biochemical tools in baker's yeast and mammalian cells to find unique regulators and/or clients of homologous machineries.

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoc who shares our fascination of how the largest organelle in the cell – the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) – works.

Does this sound interesting to you and you want to join our dynamic team?

Please submit your application as a single PDF containing a self-written cover/motivation letter (no more than 1 page), a 2-page CV (containing publications/pre-prints and the contact details of two referees) and relevant copies of degree certificates.

Applications from female candidates are expressly welcome and will be given priority in the event of equal suitability, competence and professional performance. People with disabilities are welcome to apply and will be treated preferentially in the event of equal suitability and qualification. The position is suitable for staffing with part-time employees.
