About this role
1 Wissenschaftliche:r Mitarbeiter:in mit PhD - Postdoc (m/w/d) We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Miller Lab at the MedicalUniversity of Vienna, Austria, and investigate how metabolic processes regulate tissue regeneration. The project will compare regenerative responses in different tissues, with a particular focus on hownuclear metabolic and epigenetic interactions support changes in cellular state, proliferation, andtissue repair. The project builds on our work of liver regeneration and will extend to tissues that use differentregenerative strategies, such as muscle, kidney, and pancreas.
The choice of additional regenerativemodels remains open and can be shaped by the candidate's scientific interests and expertise. Thepostdoctoral researcher will establish and apply these complementary murine regeneration models incombination with selected stem cell models to identify tissue-specific mechanisms of regeneration. Inaddition, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop an independent researchdirection within the project.
The metabolic aspects, including state-of-the-art metabolomics and in vivostable isotope tracing using our Orbitrap mass spectrometer, as well as multiple liver regenerationmodels, are already established. Other organ regeneration models will need to be developed andoptimized.
The position therefore offers a unique opportunity for a researcher with strong expertise inregenerative and/or stem cell biology who is interested in gaining expertise in metabolic research atthe intersection with epigenetics.
