Einleitungstext
 
The research group of Prof. Dr. Ricarda Richter-Dennerlein at the Department of Molecular Biology is inviting applications for a
 
Postdoctoral Fellow (f/m/d)
 
focusing on mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis and function
 
About us
 
Our research group is based in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University Medical Center Göttingen. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and function of the human mitochondrial ribosome, which synthesizes the core subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. Defects in the mitochondrial ribosome are associated with severe early-onset diseases, in which patients often suffer from neurological disorders or cardiomyopathy. We aim to understand (i) how the assembly and function of the human mitochondrial ribosome are regulated, (ii) what roles are played by associated factors, and (iii) what key quality control steps maintain a pool of functional ribosomes.
 
To address this, we combine biochemical and cell biological approaches, including iPS cell culture with differentiation into different cell types, as well as mass spectrometry and structural biology, which are conducted in collaboration with other research groups on the Göttingen research campus. Göttingen is an international student city located in the center of Germany. In addition to the University and University Medical Center, it hosts several renowned institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, providing a highly stimulating and collaborative environment.

Please send a single PDF file of your application including a short statement of motivation and previous experience, your CV, copies of degree certificates, and the names and contact details of at least two references. Only applicants selected for interview will be contacted after the application deadline.
