The *Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology*, an internationally renowned research institute in the area of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg, Germany seeks a

*MANAGER for the recently established FLY FACILITY.*

The position is available immediately and will be initially for two years with the possibility of an extension.

We are looking for a motivated individual with strong people and communication skills, who would like to take on the responsibility to run our new fly facility. Candidates should hold a PhD and have a strong background in molecular biology approaches and various fly techniques. In particular, previous experience with fly genetics, fly injections and day-to-day handling of flies is absolutely essential. Additional experience in preparing polytene chromosome spreads, imaging, handling large fly populations for biochemical analysis or screening purposes will be advantageous. The successful candidates will also be expected to teach and train new users of the fly facility. Next to running the facility, there will be an option to participate in scientific projects in the Akhtar laboratory in the field of chromatin and epigenetics. (http://www.immunbio.mpg.de/home/research/biol/laboratory_akhtar/index.html).

Salaries will be based on previous experience according to TVöD guidelines. A childcare facility is directly attached to the MPI of Immunobiology. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas, where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Candidates should send their application indicating the reference number 011109 via e-mail to weigold@immunbio.mpg.de or by regular mail to the *Personnel Department, Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology, Stübeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg*.
