Description:

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow (100%) with strong interest in experimental imaging in the field of cardiology. The applicant is expected to have a background in either vascular biology or biomedical engineering and experience in imaging and image processing. The applicant should be able to work exactly, independently and flexibly. The candidate will be responsible for his/her own project within the research group, including carrying out experiments, data analysis and interpretation, as well as drafting manuscripts. Very important is a keen interest in learning new methods (flow chamber experiments, small animal surgery, intravital microscopy, ultrasound imaging). The position requires effective participation in a small project team within the larger setting of several cardiovascular research groups.  Experience in small animal surgery and FELASA Level B (LTK1) training is desired. Experience in ultrasound imaging would be a plus but is not required. You possess excellent interpersonal skills, strong problem-solving skills as well as organizational capabilities. Experience in computer based data handling and analysis is desirable. Fluency in German and English (spoken and written) is expected.
