Postdoctoral Researcher -- Molecular Cell Biology : Dortmund, Germany 

The Vader lab at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund, Germany invites applications for an ERC-funded postdoctoral position. We use the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study how cells maintain genomic stability during meiosis, the specialized cell division that is essential for sexual reproduction. We are broadly interested in understanding how organisms manage the processes of DNA break formation and repair during meiosis. To study this, we use genome-wide analysis of DNA break formation coupled with genetics, molecular cell biology and biochemistry.
