Vacant position: Professor in Molecular Toxicology

We are looking for someone to conduct research at an international level in the field of molecular toxicology with focus on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the occurrence of malignant processes and immunological/inflammatory conditions. A deep understanding of the molecular regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis) is of particular value. The successful candidate is expected to participate in postgraduate education and to support risk assessment activities in relevant areas, such as the assessment of environmental and human health impacts of engineered nanomaterials.
