We are looking for highly motivated scientists with a degree in natural sciences to join our young and growing team as PhD student or postdoc.
The positions are immediately available at the Department of Medical Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Center for Molecular Signaling (PZMS) at Saarland University, Homburg, Germany, in the research group of Prof. Bianca Schrul.
Our group is interested in the biogenesis and function of lipid droplets. These subcellular organelles dynamically balance the influx, storage and consumption of neutral lipids in nearly all cells of our body and are therefore central hubs in lipid metabolism. Lipid droplets are implicated in a range of human pathologies including hallmark diseases of our modern society such as obesity, diabetes, hepatic steatosis and cardiovascular disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid droplet biogenesis and function as well as pathologic aberrations in these processes remain largely unknown.
