PhD student (f/m/d)

A central focus of our research work is the development of innovative therapeutic approaches for the regeneration of the damaged nervous system. Damage to the nervous system, whether caused by injury or disease, often leads to severing of the axons - the crucial connecting lines of our nerve cells. Due to the lack of treatment options in clinical practice, this damage often results in serious and lifelong functional impairments, such as paraplegia following a spinal cord injury.
Your doctoral thesis will focus on the development of novel gene therapy tools to investigate the molecular mechanisms of our innovative therapeutic approaches in detail. You will have the opportunity to learn and apply a broad spectrum of molecular biology methods. In addition, you can acquire sound pharmacological/medical knowledge during your work at our institute.

You have a 2nd state examination in pharmacy or a master's degree in biology, biochemistry, biotechnology or a related field.

You have a strong interest in neuroscientific issues and the development of novel therapeutic approaches.

Ideally, you have already gained initial experience in molecular biology and/or pharmacological working techniques.

You are highly motivated to work independently and are a team player.

At our facility, natural scientists have the opportunity to train as specialist pharmacologists/toxicologists and pharmacists as specialist pharmacists for drug information.

Challenging and varied tasks with a high degree of personal responsibility in a committed, interdisciplinary team

A social environment with friendly colleagues and fair, regular working hours, in which commitment is rewarded and valued and can be reconciled with friends and family

Excellent scientific development opportunities

Extensive training and further education opportunities

Very good transport connections
