Junior Group Leader in Stem Cell Medicine

The Junior Group Leader in Stem Cell Medicine is an early-career research leadership role requiring a doctoral-level education, emphasizing advanced expertise in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Candidates should possess a strong foundation in experimental design, cell culture techniques, and molecular biology methods relevant to stem cell research. Experience with stem cell isolation, characterization, and differentiation protocols is essential. The role demands proficiency in data analysis, interpretation of biological results, and the ability to lead small research teams or projects under supervision. Familiarity with current stem cell technologies, including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells, as well as knowledge of relevant signaling pathways and gene editing tools, is advantageous. Strong communication skills are important for collaboration, grant writing, and dissemination of research findings. The position is suited for individuals with approximately 20 points of relevant experience, indicating some prior research or laboratory work, combined with a rigorous doctoral education, ensuring a solid scientific background and the potential for independent project management within a research group focused on stem cell medicine.
