All positions are available in the Department of Epigenetics (head: Thomas Jenuwein) and are for an initial two-years appointment with the possibility of extension. The Jenuwein group is part of the newly established Epigenetic Focus, which currently comprises two senior groups (Akhtar, Jenuwein) and 3 junior groups (Pichler, Pospisilik, Schneider). This epigenetic hub also extends to colleagues from other departments and will be expanded by at least two junior groups. Together, it represents one of the centers for epigenetic research in Germany. Research at the MPI is supported by a strong institutional infrastructure and several service units such as mass-spectrometry, bioinformatics, Solexa-sequencing for genome-wide analyses, high-end imaging and FACS sorting. The MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics is an international research institute and the working language is English.
The Jenuwein group studies the basic composition of mammalian heterochromatin. Approaches used include the biochemical definition of histone lysine methyltransferases, mass-spectrometry of histone modifications and genome-wide chromatin profiling (including deep-sequencing), the functional dissection of non-coding RNAs, the generation of mouse mutants, the analysis of chromatin signaling pathways (e.g. stress response) and overall chromosome structure. For more information, please go to: www3.immunbio.mpg.de/research-groups/epigenetics/laboratory-thomas-jenuwein/
We are seeking highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral fellows for the following projects:
- Dissection of signalling pathways to heterochromatin
- Chemistry and screening for small molecule inhibitors
- Identification of novel Su(var) genes in both Drosophila (collaboration with Prof. G. Reuter, Halle/S.) and mouse
- Bioinformatic analysis of genome-wide data sets (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq)

The International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Cell Biology and Bioengineering (IMPRS-MCBB) is a joint program of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), and was established as one of the first International Max Planck Research Schools by the Max Planck Society in 2001.
The IMPRS-MCBB provides interdisciplinary training in cooperation with the DIGS-BB. Program-specific training is offered in the following three interconnected research areas:
Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology (CellDevo Program)
The CellDevo program will provide interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for University graduates who wish to work towards a PhD in the fields of Molecular Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, and Neurobiology, and focuses on cell organization, differentiation and tissue formation. Students will be trained to investigate developmental processes by cell biological approaches, and to place cellular processes into an organismic context.
Regenerative Medicine (RegMed Program)
The RegMed Program will provide training and translational research towards a career in research in biomedical sciences. The RegMed Program is open for medical graduates with the opportunity to carry out a full-time doctoral thesis at the end of which they will receive an MD/PhD, and to students of natural sciences who wish to enter medically-oriented research towards a PhD.
Nanobiotechnology, Biophysics and Bioengineering (NanoBio Program)
The NanoBio Program will provide interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for University graduates who wish to work towards a PhD in the fields of Biophysics, Nanotechnology, Bioengineering, Polymer Science, Systems Biology, Bioinformatics or Biomaterials. The underlying concept is to combine a molecular approach towards biology with cutting edge nanotechnology. One strategy is to make use of the wide variety of molecular functions provided by nature’s “nanomachines” such as proteins and enzymes, as a basis for an innovative and new molecular-based nanobiotechnology. While the extent and structure of the training is the same in each of the three programs, the contents are defined according to the research area and specific methods relevant to this field, and the individual needs of each student.
