12 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Dresden University of Technology, Germany

We are looking for an independent, passionate, and motivated Postdoc to study the development and evolution of the neocortex, focusing on gene regulatory mechanisms in neural progenitor cells, neurogenesis and neuron maturation. The successful applicant will have a leading role in implementing single cell technologies (scRNA-seq, CyTOF etc.) and electrophysiological analysis and work in a collaborative manner within our international group. You are expected to be involved in collaborations with the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine, Cluster of Excellence “Physics of Life” (PoL), the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics, as well as with other neighboring institutes and international institutions. You will be expected to contribute to teaching in the field of epigenetics, stem cells and neurobiology and to the supervision of rotation and thesis projects. If you enjoy new challenges and want to contribute with your expertise and knowledge to the unsolved questions in neurodevelopment, then become part of our team.

As part of the German government’s artificial intelligence (AI) strategy, the successful Saxon competence center ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) is being expanded into a leading German AI competence center for Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI). For TUD Dresden University of Technology diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

The aim of the research work within the Collaborative Research Center CRC1415 “Chemistry of synthetic 2D materials” is to combine quantum mechanical (QM) methods with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques to investigate and predict the electronic and magnetic properties of the building blocks in two-dimensional (2D) polymers (e.g., (a)chiral covalent organic frameworks). This will enable us to define data-driven design rules that will be integrated into generative AI frameworks for the design of novel 2D polymers with desired QM properties for catalysis and energy storage. The computational work will be performed in close collaboration with synthetic chemists at TU Dresden to validate the synthesis of the novel materials, ensuring an interdisciplinary working environment. The project would require the candidate to perform extensive QM calculations using density functional theory and to develop python-based tools for data analysis. Additionally, further development of ML-based computational workflows to explore structure-property and property-property relationships will be a key task. To this end, the successful applicant will be integrated into the research activities of CRC1415 and at the Chair of Prof. Cuniberti.
