PhD Student (gn*) Biology / Immunology

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.
