Default Location

The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) is a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute’s mission is to conduct experimental and clinical research in the field of nutrition and health, with the aim of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases, and of developing new strategies for treatment and prevention (https://www.dife.de/en/).

The Junior Research Group Muscle Physiology and Metabolism (MPM) is inviting applications for one

Postdoc (m/f/div)

starting in January 2024.

Your Mission:

Obesity and its metabolic complications such as type 2 diabetes plague our healthcare system. While recent advances in pharmacotherapy are promising to treat obesity, cost-effective and widely available solutions are lacking. Interestingly, dietary intake of special lipids called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are fatty acids consisting of 8–12 carbon atoms, has been shown to increase energy expenditure, to limit food intake, and to improve insulin resistance. We very recently found that intake of a small amount of MCFAs can help prevent insulin resistance in humans overfed with a high-fat diet. Despite these diverse systemic metabolic benefits, the mechanisms for how MCFAs achieve these effects are completely unknown.

Using cell culture techniques and in vivo experimentation with transgenic mice, it will be your mission to investigate the mode-of-action for how MCFAs benefit health. This work has the potential to uncover new pathways within or among different organs that can be discreetly targeted to elicit distinct, personalized metabolic benefits to treat and/or prevent metabolic diseases.

Your Skills and Requirements:

• Excellent PhD in life sciences, biology, biochemistry, or similar
• Experience in conducting animal studies within the area of nutrition or metabolism
• Experience in working with cell culture
• Laboratory skills related to metabolism, biochemistry, and molecular biology
• Experience with data analyses, interpretation, and presentation
• Curious mindset, intrinsic motivation, and ability to work independently in an interactive research environment
• Excellent English language skills

Our Offer:

• Innovative research focused on understanding human metabolic complications
• Working in a vibrating and scientifically stimulating environment
• Excellent facilities and state-of-the-art equipment for metabolic and nutrition research
• Excellent academic networking opportunities (nationally and internationally)
• High degree of autonomy and flexibility
• Support in developing management and grant writing skills
• Support mobility with a jobticket for using the public transport

The advertised position is initially available for a duration of three years. The level of salary will be determined on the basis of standard / tariff conditions, present qualifications, and professional experience (TV-L, level E 13).

We are looking forward to your application!

CENTER FOR BRAIN SCIENCE and KEMPNER INSTITUTE FACULTY POSITION

The Center for Brain Science (CBS) and Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University seek a tenure-track faculty member to lead an innovative research program working across the fields of Computational Neuroscience and Machine Learning to discover how brain computation can benefit artificial systems and how principles of computation and learning in artificial systems can be used to understand the brain. Current faculty use a variety of approaches to learn how brains compute and govern cognition and behavior. The successful candidate will be appointed an Institute Investigator within the Kempner Institute and will hold an academic appointment in an appropriate department in the life or physical sciences in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. A full list of potential departments can be found here: science.fas.harvard.edu/pages/about.

CBS (cbs.fas.harvard.edu) fosters interactions across disciplinary boundaries—faculty from several academic departments have neighboring labs and share common research facilities and meeting space; its connections also reach out across the University. The Kempner Institute (harvard.edu/kempner-institute) is building a community of scholars, who work across boundaries and fields to advance our understanding of intelligence, broadly speaking. Investigators will join a dynamic community of researchers to study intelligence from biological, cognitive, engineering, and computational perspectives.

A doctoral degree in the life and physical sciences, or a related discipline is required by the time the appointment begins. Candidates should have demonstrated excellence in both research and teaching. A strong doctoral record is required and postdoctoral experience preferred. Teaching will include offerings at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

To apply, please submit through the ARIeS portal a cover letter; curriculum vitae; three-page research statement; statement of teaching and advising philosophy; statement describing efforts to encourage diversity, inclusion, and belonging, including past, current, and anticipated future contributions in these areas; and up to three publications: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12751.

Please also submit contact information, including email addresses, for 3-5 people who will be asked by a system-generated email to upload a letter of recommendation once the candidate’s application has been submitted. Three letters of recommendation are required, and the application is considered complete only when at least three letters have been received. At least one letter must come from someone who has not served as the candidate’s undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral advisor.

We will begin considering applications as they are received, but all materials, including letters of reference, should be submitted by October 15, 2023.

Note that there are three additional faculty searches ongoing currently with the Kempner Institute at Harvard University. One is in partnership with Psychology, another with Computer Science, and a third with Applied Mathematics. If applying to more than one, please read the search criteria carefully.
