The Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena is a federal and state government-funded
research institute and member of the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft). FLI’ s internationally visible and highly competitive research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of
aging and associated age-related diseases. Scientists from over 40 countries are currently investigating the
molecular mechanisms of aging and the occurrence of age-related diseases. Our aim is to create the basis for new
approaches in medicine as a way to improve the health of the elderly (www.leibniz-fli.de).
The research group of Prof. Dr. Dario Riccardo Valenzano is looking for a Postdoc (m/f/d) who will work within the SFB project (collaborative research center, CRC1310, funded by the DFG for the next 4 years): "Co-evolution of gut microbiota and immune cells during ageing in killifish"
Postdoc (m/f/d)
Research focus of the Lab:
The Valenzano Lab investigates the genetic and ecological factors involved in vertebrate survival and
ageing. We study the cross-talk between immune system and the microbiome during organismal aging.
Our experimental and analytical approaches include genetic mapping, comparative genomics, population
genetics, cell culture, transgenesis and numerical simulations.
Application:
Please apply online through the FLI application portal by 31.05.2022 and provide a cover letter, your CV, your degrees and the names and contacts of 4 referees.
