» Your future in detailCECAD is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer that offers attractive conditions and benefits commensurate with an international research organization with a very collegial and family-friendly work environment.
The seeks to understand the contribution of dysregulated metabolism to ageing-associated disorders, focusing on cancer. A part of the lab is investigating how the loss of the mitochondrial enzyme and tumour suppressor Fumarate Hydratase causes renal cancer. Our work has multiple implications: (1) it will provide a mechanistic understanding of the role of metabolism and small molecule metabolites in human diseases; (2) it will generate experimental and computation tools to identify metabolic vulnerabilities that we can use as pharmacological targets for cancer therapy; (3) it will apply metabolomics and multi-omics analyses, to mouse and human models to identify metabolic markers of disease initiation for clinical application in early detection and for patient stratification.
The Postdoc project of the successful candidate will be part of a novel CANcer TARgeting (CANTAR) network of 8 universities and institutions located in North-Rhine-Westphalia. This consortium aims to find new therapeutic strategies for effective cancer treatment. The candidate will work specifically on melanoma and renal cancer and will aim to identify new molecular vulnerabilities targeting the rewired metabolism of cancer cells as well as infiltrating immune cells.
Applications from female candidates are expressly welcome and will be given priority in the event of equal suitability, competence and professional performance.
People with disabilities are welcome to apply and will be treated preferentially in the event of equal suitability and qualification.
The position is suitable for staffing with part-time employees.
