Scholarship Description:

We are recruiting an outstanding, ambitious postdoctoral candidate with a strong background in cell biology, and/or developmental biology to join our group. The postdoctoral candidate will study how mechanotransduction via cell-cell interactions and cytoskeletal dynamics controls pancreatic morphogenesis and cell fate specification. The primary focus in this project will be to perform time lapse imaging of live mouse pancreatic organ explants in an established in vitro system using confocal microscopy. We will use a combination of fluorescent reporter mouse strains with conditional gene inactivation of key morphogenetic regulators (including Rho GTPases and downstream components) in the developing mouse pancreatic epithelium. The candidate should have previous experience with confocal microscopy on an advanced level, and ideally also experience with live imaging of cells/organs using fluorescent reporters. Furthermore, a candidate with experience with the mouse model, mouse genetics, fine dissection and Imaris and/or Fiji software would be preferred.

Value:

The position will be at the level of postdoctoral fellow and the basic salary according to seniority is 31.000-33.000 DKK/month (approximately 4.100-4.400 Euro/month).
