We are
looking for biologists, mathematicians, and physicists interested in
pursuing a Ph.D. or receiving postdoctoral training in the field of
ystems Biology of Development at the Max Planck Institute for
Developmental Biology in Tuebingen. We study classical developmental
biology questions with quantitative methods and mathematical modeling.
We want to understand how extracellular signaling molecules pattern developing embryos and tissues. How are the appropriate distributions of signaling molecules achieved such that cells receive the right amount of signal at the right time? How do signaling systems concertedly coordinate proper patterning? How is the spatial range of signaling molecules regulated during development to establish the correct tissue proportions in differently sized embryos? We use zebrafish and flies as model systems and combine genetic, biophysical, and theoretical approaches to address this question.

The successful candidates will be part of an interdisciplinary Emmy Noether Research Group that is conducive to learning and testing new skills. The positions are available immediately.
Please send your application with cover letter, CV, and contact information of former supervisors as a single PDF file to pmuller@mcb.harvard.edu
