The Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany, is one of the largest and most competitive university hospitals in Germany and Europe. 48 specialized hospitals, departments and institutions harbouring excellent research and education provide patient care at the highest medical level with around 11.000 employees.

Scope of duties

A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the PaquetLab at the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research, Munich. Our research focusses on developing human brain tissue models from iPSCs to investigate mechanisms of Alzheimers disease, Frontotemporal dementia, stroke and related diseases and develop therapeutic approaches. We use cutting-edge molecular and cell biological methods, such as advanced molecular and cell-biological techniques, CRISPR/Cas9, tissue engineering, scRNAseq, proteomics, process automation etc.

We offer an extremely international, well equipped and productive work environment. Funded by an international research organization for a very interdisciplinary and collaborative project we are developing iPSC models of the blood brain barrier and apply those to study neurovascular diseases. Projects focus on CRISPR genome engineering of SVD-relevant mutations, differentiation of iPSCs into neurovascular cells, microfluidic 3D vascular tissue engineering, and identifying disease-relevant alterations. Work is embedded in the highly collaborative and stimulating environment of the PaquetLab, ISD, SyNergy Cluster of Excellence, and our international collaboration network.
