POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
at INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY
Laboratory of Molecular and Cell Neurobiology seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to study the role of GSK3 enzyme in chronic stress and Alzheimer Disease or develop his/her own research topic in a unique and the best environment for molecular and cell biology in Poland (IIMCB). The selected candidate will be supported by the IIMCB to apply for funding to National Science Center (NCN grant: “Staż podoktorski”) and if successful will be employed by the Institute.
The position requires previous experience in cell & molecular biology techniques. Experience with neurobiology, microscopy or work with rodents will be an asset.
Interested candidates are kindly asked to contact Dr. Cymerman (icymerman@iimcb.gov.pl ) by sending an e-mail entitled: NCN postdoc and attach short motivation letter, CV and the contact to two referees. Applications will be accepted until the 26th of February 2012.
The International Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (IIMCB),
Warsaw, Poland, and
the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research (MPI-HLR), 
Bad Nauheim, Germany,
invite applications for
two Research Groups
We seek talented, dynamic, independent, and motivated scientists early in his/her career to establish two research groups, one at IIMCB in Warsaw, the other at MPI-HLR in Bad Nauheim.
Successful candidates will develop independent research programs using
their own budgets, which will fund research positions, consumables, and
equipment. The successful candidates will have outstanding scientific
track records with clear evidence of leadership, and a strong
interest in animal models of human diseases, particularly in zebrafish
(for a position in Warsaw) or molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular
diseases (for a position in Bad Nauheim).
Initial
appointments of group leaders are for five years with the possibility of
extension after international review. For more general information

The start date is negotiable.
IIMCB
in Warsaw is one of the most modern country´s research institutes in
its field. The Institute’s research topics cover the wide spectrum of
protein structural biology, bioinformatics/computer modelling, protein
and organellar biogenesis, neurobiology, cancer biology and cell
biology. MPI-HLR in Bad Nauheim hosts 4 departments and several
independent research groups and is committed to understand the
mechanisms of cardiopulmonary development, diseases and regeneration at
the molecular level. The environment of both institutes is international
and the working language is English. Each of the institutes is equipped
