To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in the Institute for Experimental Pathology based at the Center for Inflammation Research at the University of Münster. The IZKF Münster has recently decided to newly establish a decentral core facility for Biology in Context, named BIC. Our facility is headed by Oliver Soehnlein, Kornelius Kerl, and Gerd Meyer zur Hörste. BIC is equipped with a MACSima imaging platform and a VS200 slide scanner for multiplexed immunohistochemistry and Visium HD and Xenium in situ platforms for spatial transcriptomics. We seek a dedicated and qualified biologist to manage and advance our new Core Facility for Spatial Biology. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the development, operation, and management of this central resource, which aims to integrate advanced imaging techniques, single-cell analysis, and bioinformatics tools to investigate tissue organization and function across different scales - ideally with you on board!
BIC is closely connected with ongoing (CRC TRR 332, CRU 342, CRC 1123) and planned research consortia with a focus on immunology thus ensuring lively scientific exchange with leaders in the field. Be part of a leading research team in the field of immunology and neutrophil biology. Work with cutting-edge spatial biology. Collaborate with a diverse group of researchers focused on innovative and impactful science. We offer opportunities for professional growth and development within a stimulating research environment.

Your Tasks

Advancing, developing and implementing procedures for multiplexed analysis of tissue specimens with specific focus on proteomic approaches
Collaborate with scientists to support their research needs, both within the lab and from external groups
Ensure effective troubleshooting and maintenance of instruments, coordinating with technical support as necessary
Stay updated with advancements in spatial biology and technologies to continuously improve platform capabilities
Contribute to the planning and execution of scientific projects and publications

What we expect:

A PhD degree in Life Sciences or related fields (e.g., Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Physiology)
Strong background in microscopy, image analysis, and/or computational methods relevant to spatial biology
Good communication and interpersonal skills, with willingness to interact effectively with diverse groups of researchers; strong command of English; proficiency in German is desirable but not required
Experience in grant writing and fundraising would be advantageous​​​​
