Postdoc position available to study Drosophila lipid metabolism in Heidelberg, Germany

[Matias Simons]

Dear all,

we have a postdoc position available, specifically for people with fly experience. Among other experimental models, we use Drosophila as a rapid genetic model to study the cell biology as well as organ crosstalk in lipid metabolism, also involving the renal system of the fly. Recent publications include Li et al, Nature Comms, in press; Dow et al, Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2022; Jouandin, Marelja et al, Science, 2022; Perez Marti et al, eLife, 2022.For more info on the lab see www.simons-lab.de.

 

Within the framework of an ERC Consolidator Grant, we now offer an exciting opportunity to study lipid metabolism in Drosophila. For this, we invite applications from individuals with solid Drosophila experience. Prior experience with lipid metabolism research is an advantage but not a prerequisite. The projects will be carried out in a stimulating work environment with scientific collaborations across the Heidelberg life science community, including EMBL and DKFZ. 

If interested, please check the attached job ad for info on the application procedure etc.

Best regards,

Matias Simons
