Two max planck research group leaders (m/f/div)

The Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Re­search in Bad Nauheim (near Frankfurt, Germany) invites appli­cations for Two Max Planck Research Group Leaders (m/f/div) Reference Number 2024_11 The Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Re­search in Bad Nauheim (near Frankfurt) is a leading inter­national re­search institution with a focus on molecular organ biology.While cardio­vascular and pulmonary biology is of special interest, several other re­search subjects are being in­vestigated.The institute has a history of more than 90 years.Since its re­founding in 2005, our major goals are to in­vestigate cellular and molecular pro­cesses in organ develop­ment as well as under pathological con­ditions in vitro and in vivo.The institute's re­search in­cludes three depart­ments (directors: Thomas Braun, Didier Stainier, and Stefan Offermanns) and currently two in­de­pendent re­search groups.Re­search is supported by scientific core facilities in­cluding Imaging (microscopy, MRI, µCT), Sequencing, Mass spectro­metry, Flow cytometry, and Bio­infor­matics.Our central animal facility has strong ex­pertise in mice and zebra­fish.For more in­for­mation about the institute see https://www.mpi-hlr.de/en.The Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Re­search is deeply imbedded in the local bio­medical re­search community and has close and well established cooperations with the nearby universities in Frankfurt and Gießen.In addition, we have strong national and inter­national cooperations and networks, in­cluding the Excellence Cluster «Cardiopulmonary Institute», DFG-funded Collaborative Re­search Centers, as well as German Health Re­search Centers (DZHK and DZL), etc.As part of this program, we are seeking out­standing scientists at the be­ginning of their in­de­pendent career with a passion in cellular and molecular mechanisms of organ biology.We en­courage appli­cations from in­terested scientists who want to develop their own in­de­pendent research program within an exciting, supportive, and inter­national re­search en­vironment.Success­ful can­di­dates will lead a Max Planck Re­search Group for a period of six years with the possi­bility of ex­tension (three years).The Goethe University in Frank­furt am Main and the Justus Liebig University in Gießen en­vision to later establish two professor­ships in this field under their pro­ceedings.Funding in­cludes the group leader po­sition (equivalent to an assistant professor­ship) as well as additional re­search po­sitions, a budget for con­sumables, and a start-up package.These funds can be ex­panded by attracting external / third-party funding.Applications should include A cover letter ex­plaining your moti­vation to apply for this position A curriculum vitae in­cluding publi­cation list A statement of scientific achievements (~ 500 words) A two-page summary of your future re­search plans (~ 1,000 words) Applicants need to arrange for two (or more) letters of re­commendation to be sub­mitted directly by the referees to [email protected] en­courage appli­cations from female scientists.Successful candidates will be invited to a symposium in Bad Nauheim at the end of January or be­ginning of February 2025 for final selection.The Max Planck Society is committed to in­crease the number of in­dividuals with dis­abilities in its work­force and there­fore en­courages appli­cations from such qualified in­di­viduals.Further­more, the Max Planck Society strives for gender and diversity equality.We welcome appli­cations from all back­grounds.Please send your appli­cation in a single PDF file (CV-publications-achievements-plan), no later than December 8, 2024, via our online appli­cation portal: https://recruitingapp-5462.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/350/Application/Check Login/2?lang=eng.Informal inquires can be sent to [email protected] Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research Ludwigstraße 43 61231 Bad Nauheim, Germany Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research - Zert Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research - Zert
