The Center for Innovation Competence - Humoral Immune Response in
Cardiovascular Diseases (ZIK HIKE) at the University of Greifswald,
Germany is supported by "Entrepreneurial Regions - The BMBF Innovation
Initiative for the New German Länder”. The aim of the center is to
develop the basis for new diagnostic techniques and strategies for
therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular diseases, which are
mediated by antibodies.
We are looking for a
Postdoctoral Scientist, gene expression analysis in single cells.

This full-time position is available immediately and is funded until
12/31/2014. The salary will be EG 13 or EG 14 TV-UMN (Wissenschaft)
depending on previous experience.

The "Cell Response" group studies the model diseases heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia and dilated cardiomyopathy both in vitro/ex vivo and
in animal models to explore the relationship between structural changes
of proteins and their complexes, and the induction of an immune
response. For this task, we are looking for a postdoctoral scientist
with interest in interdisciplinary work in the fields of immunology and
biophysics.

To strengthen existing projects we are searching for someone with
experience with gene expression analysis, preferable in single cells.
The goal is to characterize and identify subsets of antigen-specific B
cells.
In addition to general cell biology, molecular biology and biochemistry
skills, experience with B cell immunology is advantageous.
State-of-the-art facilities for single cell analysis (FACS Aria III,
AmpliGrid, Fluidigm Biomark system incl. C1 single-cell auto prep etc.)
are available at the center.

Written applications with the usual documentation and at least two
references should be send by E-mail to:
