The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join the Genome Engineering and Repair group. The position focuses on advancing CRISPR technology to investigate cellular DNA repair mechanisms and develop new CRISPR methods. The successful candidate will explore the potential of "Neandertalizing" human stem cells, conduct comparative analyses with Neanderthal cells, and collaborate with bioinformaticians and population geneticists. This role also includes mentoring students and contributing to the academic community. Ideal candidates will have a PhD in biochemistry or molecular biology and experience with CRISPR. The position offers a unique opportunity to develop expertise in CRISPR screening and stem cell engineering.
