PhD Student (m/w/d) Biology / Immunology

PhD Student (gn*) Biology / Immunology Fixed-term of 3 years | Part-time with 65 % | Salary grade E 13 TV-L | Project on the biology of guidance receptors in innate immunity | European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) | Job ID: 10068

We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in the group of Dr. Maria Florencia Sánchez which is part of the inter-faculty European Institute of Molecular Imaging. Our research focuses on understanding how receptors sense the environment and respond by generating selective responses. We will study an undervalued receptor family, plexins. Plexins regulate immune responses and cancer becoming an attractive drug target. By combining nanotechnology, cell biology and advanced microscopy we aim to unravel how plexin receptors regulate immune responses in the context of breast cancer. The experimental program includes immunology, cell biology, nanotechnology and imaging methods – ideally with you on board!

The position is funded by the CRC1450 and the student will be included in a graduate PhD program from this CRC.

Your Tasks

• Motivated and committed student with a master’s degree or a similar degree in Biology/Immunology (finished no longer than 2 years ago)
• Relevant experience in lab work (routine in working with cancer cells and patient samples is expected)
• Communication skills in English and ideally in German
• Competence to work in an interdisciplinary team

What we expect:

• A broad education and training in a highly interactive consortium (CRC1450)
• The Integrated Research Training Group offers early-career researchers (gn*) comprehensive scientific training in the field of “multiscale imaging” and individual support for their doctoral thesis projects.

Apply now via our career portal until 08.01.2025.
Your application should include:

• Cover letter describing your research interest and why your skills are suitable for the position (maximum 1 page)
• CV including a list of relevant publications
• Copy of the official academic transcript of your degree or a letter stating when your degree will be obtained
• Names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers for academic references/recommendation letters
