The Neurodevelopmental Epigenetics group of Prof. T. Vogel at the University of Freiburg is looking for a

Postdoctoral position in Neurodevelopmental Epigenetics (m/f/d)

The Neurodevelopmental Epigenetics group of Prof. T. Vogel at the University of Freiburg investigates mechanisms of transcriptional control during stem cell and neuronal specification in brain development, and in CNS disease (Gather et al, NAR 2025; Akol et al, PNAS, 2023; Appiah et al, Embo Rep, 2023; Ferrari et al, Nat Comm, 2020; Franz et al, NAR, 2019).

The group studies epigenetic mechanisms and transcription factor functions in mice and humans, applying state-of-the-art methodology including single-cell sequencing approaches, bioinformatics, CRISPR/Cas9 in iPSCs and human brain organoids. We are an ambitious group with thorough supervision and diverse opportunities for advanced training, learning and networking. See here for more information:

For a DFG funded project to investigate the function of MLLT3 in interneuron development, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher.

We are offering:

to work on a highly topical research project with state-of-the art technology in a collaborative setting

Training options in advanced laboratory and/or bioinformatics methods

the option to qualify for teaching of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy

an international work atmosphere

a scheme towards academic qualification

participation in the universitys training offers for postdoctoral scientists, e.g. coaching and workshops

regular training on aspects of good scientific practice

participation in national third-party funded consortia

You are strengthening our team through:

a strong background in biochemistry, biology, molecular medicine, medicine or equivalent

documented experience in techniques of cell biology, protein biochemistry and molecular biology, applied to understand the development or function of the central nervous system

experience in live cell microscopy, or electroporation techniques would be considered as additional surplus, as is experience in brain organoid research

experience with bioinformatical analyses of large data sets and next-generation-sequencing ideally on single cell level is also desirable

very good communication skills in German and English

the ability to work synergistically in a team

an outstanding PhD or MD degree

passion, curiosity and high motivation for unsolved research questions in the field of neurodevelopmental epigenetics

Employment will be temporary for 3 years, starting date: September 2026.

Application! Please send until May 28th 2026

CV

degree certificates

a minimum of 2 reference letters

a short letter of motivation for application to the lab in German language
