Postdoc in Structural Biology of Protein Kinase Regulation by RNA Helicases

The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is one of Europe's largest cancer research centers. “Research for a life without cancer" is the mission of our world-class scientists and all our team members.

The DKFZ is a place where the brightest minds pursue bold ideas and seek answers to pioneering scientific questions through collaboration, innovation, and exploration across many disciplines. We provide a dynamic environment which empowers excellence with state-of-the-art technologies, cutting edge infrastructure, and a global scientific network.

Contribute your knowledge, vision, and dedication to create a space where scientific discovery in cancer research is transformed into benefits for human health.

How cells communicate with their environment via cell-cell interactions and by growth factors is a key question in the molecular life sciences, including tumor biology. Wnt signaling plays an important role in embryonic development and cancer.

In the Division of Molecular Embryology (headed by Prof. Dr. Christof Niehrs), we study mechanisms of Wnt pathway regulation. To this end, we identify developmental control genes, investigate their biological role and biochemical mode of action, and examine how the genes are regulated.

To strengthen our team, we are seeking, starting at the earliest date possible, a Postdoc in Structural Biology of Protein Kinase Regulation by RNA Helicases.
