The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine
of the University of Cologne announce
Professorship (W3) Metabolomics in Aging
at the Cologne Center of Excellence CECAD on "Cellular Stress Responses
in Aging-Associated Diseases". An attractive start-up package and access to
outstanding research facilities will be provided. The successful candidates are
expected to further reinforce and complement the joint research efforts of the
University of Cologne, the Max Planck Institutes for Biology of Ageing and for
Metabolism Research, as well as the German Center for Neurodegenerative
Diseases (DZNE).
We seek individuals with internationally recognized research accomplishments
and expertise on the role of metabolism and/or the dynamics of metabolites
within cells and/or organ-organ communication or organism/environment
interactions and interested in how these pathways or dynamics affect health and
contribute to Aging and Aging-associated Diseases. The successful candidate
is an expert in state-of-the-art techniques that allow metabolomic analyses
combined with qualitative and quantitative analyses of metabolite levels and
fluxes in age-related changes in different model organisms. Moreover, this
candidate is expected to academically lead the newly established CECAD
metabolomics Facility.
