FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCESINDEPENDENT RESEARCH GROUP LEADER (F/M/X)CLUSTER OF EXCELLENCE CELLULAR STRESS RESPONSES IN AGING-ASSOCIATED DISEASES (CECAD)

We are one of the largest and oldest universities in Europe and one of the most important employers in our region. Our broad range of subjects, the dynamic development of our main research areas and our central location in Cologne make us attractive for students and researchers from around the world. We offer a wide range of career opportunities in science, technology, and administration.
The Cologne Cluster of Excellence Cellular Stress Responses in Aging-Associated Diseases (CECAD) is a unique research venture of the University of Cologne, the Max Planck Institutes for Biology of Ageing and for Metabolism Research and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), integrating over 50 research groups. The mission of CECAD is to define the common and unique molecular and cellular mechanisms how individuals age using different models (single molecule to organism), model organisms (yeast to human) to identify novel interventions that promote healthy ageing and prevent age-related disease.

• Build up and lead a successful research team
• Build up an internationally visible research programme in areas central to aging and aging-associated diseases that strengthen and complement ongoing research in CECAD
• Willingness to further advance and build an open, welcoming environment that promotes diversity at all levelsInterest in teaching and advancing innovation in teaching would be an advantage
