Our research group uses models of cardiovascualr biology and disease to understand molecular mechanisms of heart failure and arrhythmias. We employ a wide range of research techniques from molecular biology to functional cardiac assessment and quantification of biological molecules in patient samples, including hypothesis-driven and broad bioinformatics approaches.
- Functional assessment of cardiac tissue and cells, e.g. using electrophysiology, optical mapping, and patch clamping
- molecular and cell biological methods in human tissue and in relevant disease models, histology and advanced imaging methods
- Research involving genetically modified mice and stem-cell derived cardiac cells and tissue
- Active involvement in the build-up of our research group
- supervision by experienced research leaders
- team science with local and international collaborators
- a university degree, e.g. in life sciences, medicine or veterinary medicine, biology, human biology, physics, chemistry or a combined degree in the sciences, ideally with a PhD or a Masters degree
- Ideally prior expertise in animal resaerch including a FELASA certificate, expertise in molecular or cellular biology methods
- Knowledge of the English language and of MS Office
- a passion for science and team science, flexibility, responsibility and initiative
- interdisciplinary, clinically meaningful translational research work
- innovative ideas and projects
- an ambitious, friendly and supportive work environment to bring out the best in you
- research in an internationally respected translational research group
- Team science within UKE and with National and International collaborators
- a friendly and family-friendly work environment conducive for your career development
- a comprehensive training and professional development program for junior and senior staff members within the UKE Academy
