The Group of Sebastian Arnold at the Centre for Clinical Research at the University

Medical Centre, University of Freiburg (Germany) is seeking highly motivated

PhD students & PostDocs in Stem Cell and Developmental Biology

Successful candidates will join a young and dynamic team and participate in projects funded by

the german research foundation (DFG), including the Emmy Noether-Programme, Collaborative

Research Centre 850 (CRC 850) and the Graduate School 1104 (associated with the Finnish-

German Doctoral Training Network/FinGerDevNet). The projects aim to understand the

transcriptional and cell biological mechanisms of cell lineage commitment and -segregation

during early mammalian development and during specific differentiation of stem cell populations

in vitro. Specifically, we are interested in unravelling the transcriptional cascades and cell

behavioural changes initiated by TGFâ signalling and T-box transcription factors during formation

of mesoderm and endoderm at mouse gastrulation. We use a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art

molecular and cell biology techniques, including functional genomics in mouse, life imaging and

high-throughput transcriptome and ChIP-analysis.

The Centre for Clinical Research (ZKF) is the main research institute of the Medical Centre with a

wide-ranging programme in basic and translational research. It offers a challenging scientific

environment with state of the art facilities, interdisciplinary staff and close contact to the

international graduate schools.

Positions are available immediately. To apply, please send a motivation letter, including a brief

description of research experience and interests, your CV and contact information for references
