Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/x)

full time

Emerging Viruses
The
Leibniz Institute of Virology
(LIV) is committed to research in human viruses and well as the pathogenesis of viral diseases. The LIV offers the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research in a world-class research environment with excellent technical facilities.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in infectious diseases in the field of coronaviruses.
Coronaviruses (CoVs) have been shown to pose a significant risk for the human population, exemplified by the emergence of highly pathogenic viruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses are utterly dependent on host cellular processes. Consequently, exploring virus-host interactions is essential to understand mechanisms regulating the viral replicative cycle and any pathological outcomes associated with an infection. Within the recently funded DFG Emmy Noether project “RNA MAP - Investigating non-coding RNA interactions impacting coronavirus infectivity and immune control”, a post-doctoral researcher position is available. This project aims at further studying host factors associated with coronavirus infection, with a strong focus on non-coding RNAs, using a variety of cellular models and sophisticated cellular biology techniques.

The offered postdoctoral researcher position is within the research unit “Emerging Viruses” (Head: Prof. Stephanie Pfänder) (
).

Candidate requirements:

• PhD in a relevant field (virology, translational and transcriptional control, RNA biology) with at least one publication in a reputable international journal
• Fluency in spoken and written English
• Extensive experience in cell culture and molecular biology methods
• Extensive experience in virology
• BSL3 experience would be beneficial
• Self-motivated, organized, and willing to supervise students in the lab

What we offer:

• Exciting activity at a Leibniz Association institute
• Working as part of a highly motivated team in a new research group
• Remuneration according to E 13 TV-AVH (Hamburg Employment Law Association Collective Agreement, comparable to TVöD - Civil Service Collective Agreement), including company pension scheme
• 30 days of annual vacation
• Further training opportunities, including subsidized English and German courses at the institute
• Grant for unscheduled childcare
• Health protection offers at the institute (in cooperation with voiio GmbH)
• Flexible, family-friendly working hours
• HVV-Deutschlandticket subsidy
• Canteen use subsidy

The position is initially limited for three years, after which there is the possibility of another extension for three years.
