Jobbeschreibung

Job Description:

The Institute of Experimental Cardiovascular Medicine (IEKM) is looking for a Fully-Funded Postdoctoral Position (m/f/d).

The IEKM is a modern, internationally organized research institute with flat hierarchies, currently employing around 40 staff and students. As part of a BMBF-funded grant, the Section for Experimental Imaging seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work on catheter-based reperfusion imaging of cardiac electrophysiology.

Our recent research uncovered a novel mechanism of cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion arrhythmias and a method to prevent them. This has led to the development of a catheter design for our two-zone reperfusion approach in vivo. Collaborating with a local catheter manufacturer, we aim to develop and validate this catheter.

We offer:

• An outstanding international (English-language) and interdisciplinary scientific environment with flat hierarchies and quick decision-making
• Access to advanced laboratories, cutting-edge technologies, and state-of-the-art infrastructure
• Highly personalized supervision at the forefront of biomedical sciences
• A vibrant environment in Freiburg, one of Europe's most desirable places to live, located at the crossroads of Germany, France, and Switzerland
• The opportunity to contribute your ideas and expertise
• A modern workplace with flexible working hours
• Employee benefits such as health offers (e.g., UKF job ticket, Hansefit, on-site daycare)

Research Tasks:

• Applying advanced imaging techniques to study whole-heart electrophysiology
• Testing a new catheter designed for myocardial reperfusion
• Validating reperfusion methods against established standards

Candidate Profile:

• PhD or equivalent in a relevant biomedical or medical discipline
• Practical experience with imaging methods
• Experience in cardiac biology or electrophysiology is highly desirable
• Curiosity and motivation to shape your research
• Excellent English communication skills (B2 or higher)

The position is initially available for three years. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply online with all relevant documentation by September 2nd, 2024.
