The Stiel lab (www.stiel-lab.de, Cell Engineering group) at the Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI) at Helmholtz Munich and the Chair of Biological Imaging (CBI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is looking for a highly qualified and motivated Postdoc (f/m/x) for protein engineering: focus on development of genetically encoded reporters and sensors (indicators) for optical imaging. Genetically encoded reporters and sensors are a major tool to unravel the functioning of life on the cellular level. We are developing such tools for fluorescence, super-resolution and optoacoustics imaging.

The work will be conducted in close collaboration with other laboratories of TUM and Helmholtz Munich as well as interactional collaboration partners that are leading in the respective research areas, e.g. in vivo application, protein structure elucidation or super resolution imaging. Hence, the position is an exciting interface between protein-engineering, basic photophysical research, development of molecular tools as well as imaging. The successful candidate will not only develop new imaging agents but also function as the linking hub between the partner groups – resulting in truly interdisciplinary work. Beyond that the position is a stepping stone towards academic independence since we strongly believe in give orientation and fostering young talents in science.
