We are searching for an internationally renowned scientist to cover a broad range of biochemical research on cellular mechanisms, including, e.g., metabolism, proteostasis, organelle function, or genome function during organism aging. The applicant should have a strong scientific background employing biochemical, metabolic, and molecular research on model organisms to analyse complex biological processes relevant to aging. The professorship is combined with leading a senior research group at FLI. The FLI provides an outstanding academic environment for research on aging as well as excellent laboratory setups and core facilities. The candidate is expected to have an outstanding publication record, a proven ability to acquire third-party funding, experience in project coordination, and leadership skills.
