The Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried near Munich conducts basic research in the field of development, function and diseases of the nervous system. The institute is part of the Martinsried Campus of the Max Planck Society.
The research group Tools for Bio-Imaging at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology is looking to hire a post-doctoral fellow (m/f/d) with an interest in protein engineering, CRISPR technology, molecular biology, and, more generally, in tool development and neuroscience.
Our group has developed new methods for directed protein evolution in mammalian cells that are based on CRISPR/Cas genome editing enzyme. While further improvements in the method need to be accomplished, this approach opens up numerous exciting possibilities to target proteins and signaling cascades for which the mammalian cell provides the relevant physiological context.
