The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences is a leading international research institute of exceptional scientific breadth. With more than 40 research groups and some 1,000 employees from over 50 nations, it is the largest institute of the Max Planck Society.
The department of Tissue Dynamics and Regeneration (Dr. Jochen Rink) invites applications for positions as a
Postdoc (f/m/d)
- gene regulatory basis of planarian regeneration -
About us
We study the fascinating ability of planarians to regenerate complete animals from tiny tissue pieces. We conduct worldwide field expeditions and as a result, maintain a unique live collection of planarian species with a wide range of regenerative abilities. We have also established planarian genome sequencing/assembly pipelines and now have available multiple chromosome -scale genome assemblies of different species. In conjunction with our CHIP and ATACseq protocols, this amounts to exciting opportunities for investigating the mechanistic basis of regeneration, the salient changes that render species regeneration-deficient, and the mechanistic trade-offs that ultimately drive the gain and loss of regeneration abilities. We are a young, international department and English is our working language.
About the positions
We are looking for talented Postdoctoral researchers that share our fascination with regeneration. Current project opportunities include (but are not limited to) the exploration of:
