POSTDOC POSITION in STEM CELL RESEARCH (m/f)
Human hematopoietic stem cells in normal and malignant hematopoiesis

The Institute
The Georg-Speyer-Haus in Frankfurt (www.georg-speyer-haus.de), is a highly acclaimed international research institute supported by the Federal Ministry of Health for Sciences and Arts of the State of Hessen with a long tradition in state of the art basic and translated research in the fields of cancer and infectious diseases. It combines its own modern and dynamic scientific environment with close ties to the University of Frankfurt and the Frankfurt University Hospital. Frankfurt is fast becoming one of the leading centers in leukemia research in Germany.

The Position
The PostDoc position which is available from April 2010 will be part of the newly found group of Dr. Michael Rieger. The project will focus on the regulation of human hematopoietic stem cells in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia. Leukemia may arise as a consequence of misregulated hematopoietic stem cell function and finding differences between normal and malignant hematopoiesis will unravel novel therapeutic options. Clinical collaborations with the Frankfurt University Hospital Cancer Center are ongoing. With a large spectrum of cellular and molecular biology methods, state-of-the-art cell sorting and novel time-lapse imaging and single cell tracking technologies (Rieger et al., Science 325, 2009; Kimura, Rieger et al., Blood 114, 2009) central questions in human hematopoiesis will be addressed.

Candidate Requirements
Highly motivated candidates with an outstanding university degree in biology or a related study, and a successful PhD (with international publications) will gain from a young dynamic environment with scientific excellence. Fascination for modern biomedical research and enjoyment in experimental work are more relevant than previous work experience. However, a strong background in stem cell biology, immunology or cell biology might be of advantage. Experience in FACS analysis/sorting or imaging technologies will be beneficial. A research visit abroad is possible due to many international collaborators.

Benefits
The salary is based on TV-H13. The position is initially limited to 1,5 years with a highly realistic option for prolongation.
