The Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena is a federal and state government-funded research institute and member of the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft). FLI’s internationally visible and highly competitive research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and associated age-related diseases. Scientists from over 40 countries are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging and the occurrence of age-related diseases. Our aim is to create the basis for new approaches in medicine as a way to improve the health of the elderly (www.leibniz-fli.de).
The research group led by Prof. Dr. Christoph Englert at FLI is seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher (m/f/x) to join their team:
Research focus of the lab:
The Englert Lab investigates the genetic basis of aging and regeneration. We work with two fish species, namely zebrafish and the short-lived killifish Nothobranchius furzeri and use genomic engineering as well as several-omics technologies to analyze the function of individual genes during aging, regeneration, and senescence. Very recently, we have generated a transparent killifish line (eLife 12:e81549) that serves as a tool for several in vivo applications.
