PhD and Postdoc Positions at the IMP

The Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) invites applications for research positions at the graduate and postdoctoral levels.

The IMP offers an outstanding scientific and cultural environment. Sixteen independent research groups conduct interdisciplinary research across a broad range of topics in the life sciences, seeking to elucidate the fundamental operating principles of biological systems from the molecular to the organismal levels. Our 200 scientists come from 38 different countries, yet all share a passion for scientific discovery and the excitement of conducting biological research at the highest level. Structured training programmes provide students and postdocs with the diverse knowledge base and skill set needed to pursue a successful independent career in scientific research. English is the working language throughout the institute. Child-care facilities are available.

Research at the IMP is focused in 4 broadly-defined themes: molecular and cell biology, differentiation and disease, circuit neuroscience, and computation and bioengineering. The research groups in each of these areas are:

Molecular and cell biology

Tim Clausen | Protein quality control

Carrie Cowan | Cell polarity

Thomas Marlovits | Molecular machines

Jan-Michael Peters | Mitosis and chromosome biology

Stefan Westermann | Kinetochore function

Differentiation and disease

Meinrad Busslinger | Hematopoesis

Johannes Zuber | Cancer drug target discovery

David Keays | Neuronal migration

Circuit neuroscience

Barry Dickson | Neural circuits in Drosophila

Wulf Haubensak | Neural circuits for emotions

Krystyna Keleman | Learning and memory in Drosophila

Simon Rumpel | Circuit mechanisms of memory formation

Andrew Straw | Visual guidance of locomotion

Manuel Zimmer | Chemosensory circuits in C. elegans

Computation and Bioengineering

Alex Stark | Regulatory genomics

Alipasha Vaziri | Quantum biology and optogenetics

See http://www.imp.ac.atfor further information on the IMP and research interests of each group.

Enquiries regarding postdoctoral positions should be addressed directly to the group leader of interest. Applications for PhD positions should be made through the Vienna Biocenter International PhD Programme ( http://www.imp.ac.at/students/international-phd-programme).

The next deadline for PhD applications is November 15, 2011.
