KARRIEREMESSE
Persönlich mit Arbeitgebern sprechen
The Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften - ISAS - e. V. develops efficient analytical methods for health research. Thus, it contributes to the improvement of the prevention, early diagnosis, and therapy of diseases like cardiovascular diseases or cancer. Overall, the institute strives to advance precision medicine by combining knowledge from different fields such as biology, chemistry, computer science, medicine, pharmacology, and physics. ISAS is a member of the Leibniz Association and is publicly funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and its federal states.
At our location in Dortmund, we invite applications for the Research Group Biofluorescence:
The main aim will be to profile the cellular components of tissue microenvironments (TME) in healthy and inflamed sites using State-of-the-Art Mass Spectrometry-Based Multi-Omics. We aim to dissect the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of various TMEs with highest sensitivity down to the single-cell level to define how they regulate cell and tissue functions under physiological and pathological conditions.
ISAS collects and processes the personal data of its applicants in accordance with European and German legal regulations. Further information on data protection and the processing of personal data can be found at: https://www.isas.de/en/datenschutz.
The closing date for applications is April 18, 2026. Please apply via our applicant portal. If you have any questions (reference number 393_2026), feel free to contact the Human Resources team (bewerbungen(at)isas.de). Further information about the institute can be found at: https://www.isas.de/en.
Non-residents who apply for this job will receive help from the institute to find accommodation and to handle authorities. Applications from disabled applicants are welcome. ISAS supports the principle of equal opportunity for all employees and therefore particularly encourages women to apply.
The part-time position (65%) is offered for 3,5 years. The position is available immediately. The salary will be according to the German TV-L. The time limitation of the contract is based on the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG).
