From: Jan Ellenberg <jan.ellenberg@embl.de> Subject: EMBL Cell Biology & Biophysics Group Leader recruitment 2021 Date: August 6, 2021 at 3:45:46 AM PDT To: Andrej Sali <sali@salilab.org>

Dear Andrej,

I would like to draw your attention to the opening for two group leader positions in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit at EMBL Heidelberg, as recently advertised in Nature and Science.

We are looking for outstanding junior scientists with a background in biology, physics, chemistry, engineering or mathematics who want to pursue original and interdisciplinary research in cutting-edge molecular cell biology or imaging technology development.

Regarding research topic, our call is broad and not limited to a particular topic. In the area of cell biology, the candidate’s research should aim at elucidating the molecular mechanism of an important biological function at the cellular level and we would for example also welcome applicants that plan to work in unusual, including marine and bacterial, model systems, or that take a theoretical approach to model dynamic cell biological processes. In the area of imaging technology, we would for example welcome applicants that develop novel microscopy technologies to probe the molecular or physical structure and function of cells.

Although there is no age range, we generally hire group leaders early in their careers, often after their first postdoc and not too rarely even immediately after their PhD. We therefore strongly encourage highly promising young and particularly also female candidates to apply. EMBL group leaders are provided with a very generous internal support package and a highly collaborative environment.

I would very much appreciate if you could bring the attached advertisement to the attention of suitable candidates or let me know if I should contact them personally.

Thanks so much for help with this recruitment,

All the best,

Jan
