(subject to personal qualification, remuneration according to salary group E 15 TV-L with Tenure-Track to W2) starting
as soon as possible.
The position is initially limited to six years according to the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG (Fixed Term Research Contracts Act) and aims at obtaining further academic qualification. Competitive funding will be provided for the position of the junior research group leader and their group, depending on qualification and subject to negotiation. At the latest in the fifth year, a tenure evaluation will be carried out by an inter-faculty and inter-departmental commission. Provided a positive evaluation result, the successful candidate will be appointed to a permanent Chair (W2) of Regenerative Biology without new selection process. The evaluation procedure is based on mutually agreed evaluation criteria at the start of the service. Essential components of the evaluation are the scientific success in the form of quality and quantity of publications, success in the acquisition and management of third-party funds and in the promotion of young academics, a positively evaluated teaching performance, active participation in cooperative projects within and outside the central academic unit and university, and active participation in academic self-administration.
The CMCB unites the three institutes Center for Molecular Bioengineering (B CUBE), Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) and the CRTD under one roof. Here, interdisciplinarity, innovation and internationality are emphasized. The institutes significantly shape the research profile line "Health Sciences, Biomedicine and Bioengineering" of the TU Dresden. Tissue regeneration and the development of cell-based regenerative therapies are the research topics of the CRTD. Hematology, immunology, diabetes, bone regeneration and neurodegenerative diseases are the main focus. Currently, 20 chairs and research groups with 250 employees from 30 nations are conducting research at the CRTD. You (m/f/x) will conduct research at the interface between fundamental biology and translational research. Together with its strategic partners on campus, the faculties of Biology and Medicine, CRTD aims to strengthen and further develop new scientific activities within its focus on regeneration (e.g. rejuvenation, cell metabolism, immunology, etc.). The use or adoption of the latest breakthrough technologies (e.g. in organoids, gene editing, single cell genomics, physiology, computational approaches, synthetic biology, etc.) is also seen as an asset. There is particular interest in identifying candidates with the potential to strengthen future CMCB initiatives (e.g., new clusters of excellence, DFG Collaborative Research Centers, or similar) and collaborations on the Life Science Campus.
You will conduct independent interdisciplinary research in your research field at an internationally competitive level. This includes the conception and coordination of the group’s research program, recruitment of relevant partners and involvement in collaborative efforts across the campus with the successful implementation of the research activities, publications, and acquisition of third-party funding. Applicants will also be involved in the CMCB’s teaching efforts and will predominantly be teaching (in English) in the international Master’s program “Regenerative Biology and Medicine” of the CMCB at TU Dresden. Furthermore, the support of topic-related teaching offers of the Faculty of Biology of the School of Science of TU Dresden is planned. Applicants establishing their first research group and applying for/holding an ERC starting grant, DFG Emmy Noether program etc. are particularly encouraged to apply.
Suitable applicants must have a university degree in natural or medical sciences, a PhD degree or equivalent, outstanding achievements in international biomedical research, and a proven track record of excellence in their field of research. Applicants need to be experienced in steering research projects independently. Knowledge in acquiring third-party funding is advantageous. The prerequisites for appointment to the unlimited chair (W2) after the successful tenure track evaluation are based on § 58 of the Act on the Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSFG).
