Full description

Ihre Aufgaben

The de Bono group studies how nervous systems generate behavior, with the goal of elucidating new molecular mechanisms and principles. As animal models we use C. elegans and mice; we also use tissue culture cells to investigate molecular mechanisms.

Our approaches combine genetics and molecular biology with a host of other approaches, including neural imaging, microscopy, genomics, and biophysical, biochemical, in-silico, and in-vivo methods.

We are looking for a self‑motivated team member who is interested in learning new skills, in teaching skills to others, and who is highly interactive and intellectually curious.

The successful candidate will play an integral role in the laboratory, providing support across multiple projects and helping to maintain effective coordination and collaboration within the research team.

Previous experience with the models and methods we use would be advantageous, but is not strictly required as a prerequisite.

Contributing to lab organization

Supporting lab members with their research projects

Helping to make transgenic C. elegans

Running experiments in mice and worms

Generating and presenting progress reports

Troubleshooting

Being part of an interactive group of students, postdocs, and technicians with diverse backgrounds

Ihr Profil

Completed studies in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics or other relevant fields

Experience working in mouse and / or C. elegans is desirable

Experience with molecular biology techniques e.g. cloning, PCR and RNA/protein purification desirable

Experience working with computational approaches to biological data analysis would be advantageous

Strong organizational skills, reliability and a sense of responsibility

Proactive personality with a solution‑oriented approach

Applications should include a letter of motivation, a CV, and contact information for at least 2 referees
