Dear ladies and gentlemen,

The Center for Systems Biology in Dresden is a joint initiative of the MPI-PKS (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems) and the MPI-CBG (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics).  The core of the center is focused on computational biology and theoretical biophysics primarily directed towards questions within cell and developmental biology in tight synchrony and interaction with the various experimental groups of the MPI-CBG.

We are looking for strong candidates who would like to apply for third party funds in order to set up an

Independent Research Group

at our Center for Systems Biology at Dresden (CSBD). Candidates are expected to have an outstanding international research track record in one or several of the research fields that are relevant to the mission of the center, which are: computational biology, biophysics, bioinformatics, genomics and image analysis.  To be considered, candidates must (a) satisfy the eligibility criteria of the respective funding programs, (b) have received their PhD in a computational or theoretically oriented discipline, and (c) have published significant research papers recently. Successful candidates will receive mentoring and full support of the MPI-CBG & MPI-PKS to apply for independent group funding.


The new research groups will be housed in the new CSBD building currently being built alongside the main building of the MPI-CBG. For further information, please see www.mpg-sysbio.de, www.mpi-cbg.de, and www.pks.mpg.de.

 
Applications should contain: (a) a motivation letter by the applicant, (b) a CV and publication list, (c) a description of past and future research activities, (d) funding history to date. Please arrange for three recommendation letters to be sent directly to visitors@pks.mpg.de before the deadline.  Women are particularly welcome as candidates. The same applies to disabled people.  Dual career applications will be considered.

 
Please see http://mpg-sysbio.de/index.php?id=jobs for how to apply. Closing date is 01.08.2014.
