Job Description

We are looking for candidates to fill one postdoctoral position in the area of advanced substrate engineering to enable novel combination of group-IV and III-V hetero-structures on large area Si substrate (up to 200 mm). This goal is pursued by ways of hetero-epitaxy and layer transfer. The final deliverables include large area, low defect and robust engineered substrates suitable for a range of applications from advanced CMOS, power devices to optoelectronics.

You will have the opportunity to work with PIs from MIT, NTU and NUS, as well as a larger group of researchers in the low energy electronics system program. You are expected to track the project progress and report your findings in journals/conferences. The appointment is for a 2-year term in the first instance, with possible renewal.

We are looking for enthusiastic postdocs to join the new Medical Epigenomics Lab at CeMM, the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The group of Christoph Bock combines experimental and computational methods for understanding the role of epigenome regulation in cancer, stem cells, and immune diseases.

THE INSTITUTE:
CeMM is an international and interdisciplinary research center for molecular medicine founded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Driven by medical needs, CeMM integrates basic research and clinical expertise to pursue innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches
focused on cancer, inflammation and immune disorders. CeMM is located in a new tailor-made building at the center of the Vienna Medical University campus. The official language at CeMM is English, as more than 30 different nationalities are represented.

THE LAB:
The lab of Christoph Bock combines large-scale epigenomics with stem cell biology and computational modeling, in order to better understand and treat leukemia and other diseases of the blood system. The lab has access to state-of-the-art technologies including high-throughput sequencing, in vitro and in vivo models of hematopoiesis, and powerful
computational resources. The team members work closely with biologists and medical researchers at the Medical University of Vienna, aiming to advance personalized medicine through epigenome sequencing and bioinformatic innovation. Read the rest of this entry »
