Wissenschaftliches PersonalPostdoctoral position in the SARS-CoV2 Diagnostic Research

12.10.2020, Wissenschaftliches Personal

SARS-CoV2 is currently the biggest health challenge. Detection of the infection is mainly based on PCR-based methods as the gold standard. Other test principles are based on the detection of viral antigens, but have a lower sensitivity and specificity. However, both test systems allow only a very limited statement regarding the infection. In this funded project, a diagnostic method is to be established in which exosomes are isolated from blood, enriched and characterized in detail on a single event level. To strengthen our team we are looking for a candidate with practical experience in immunology, molecular biology and biochemistry. Strong interest in the life science field and the ability to work creatively, independently and in a team are very important to us. Very good knowledge of flow cytometry is essential for this project. We offer a highly interesting research topic with direct relevance in a stimulating and interactive research environment. The position is limited to 8 months with the possibility of an expiration date. The payment corresponds to TVL 13 according to DFG personnel funding rate 2018. Your qualification: - Completed university studies (PhD) in life science - Knowledge of immunology and oncology or virology - Special knowledge of flow cytometry and GLP - Ability to work in an international team - Innovative and creative thinking - Very good written and spoken English Please send your complete application documents with publication list, letter of motivation and certificates.
